Import Duty On Copper Faces Urgent Congressional Action
Congress must act quickly as the 2 cent per pound copper import duty suspension ends Saturday. Copper’s role as a key raw material drives electronics, telegraphs, radios, and autos, with over 20 percent used in automobiles and more than 10 percent in buildings. Production concentrates in Anaconda, Phelps Dodge, and Kennicott, with most U S output from Arizona and Utah. Government price controls and subsidies in wartime and postwar periods affected profitability and supply, prompting renewed debate on subsidies and future pricing as domestic production lags demand.
