Copper Imports rocket 19.5% in June 2026 to $2.4 billion and down 10.3% from a year earlier. Import value is a volume-and-price composite, so a swing this size usually means either restocking or a tariff-driven pull-forward, not a demand turn.

• June 2026: $2.4 billion
• on the month: +19.5%
• on the year: -10.3%

Import value is a volume-and-price composite, so a swing this size usually means either restocking or a tariff-driven pull-forward, not a demand turn.

The print sits 10% of the way up the archived range of $1.1 billion (November 2025) to $13.7 billion (April 2026), with the standing trend rising.

The year-over-year comparison is against June 2025, which printed $2.6 billion. Source: Census International Trade. The number above is the agency's published value, unrounded; the history and any later revisions stay queryable on the live data page.
