We regret but have to temporary suspend the shipments to USA

> importers must declare the exact amount of steel, copper, and aluminum in products, with a 100% tariff applied to these materials. This makes little sense—PCBs, for instance, contain copper traces, but the quantity is nearly impossible to estimate.

Wow this administration is f**ing batshit insane. I thought the tariffs would be on raw metals, not anything at all that happens to contain them.

How would you handle importing raw copper, vs a spool of 0000 gauge copper wire?

One is "raw material", the other is "finished goods". This kind of distinction is pretty standard across the world.

Yes, that was my point. If you only tariff raw copper (which is what the parent thought), you could avoid the tariff by importing lightly process copper (e.g. a spool of 0000 wire instead of bar of copper).
