In today’s rapidly changing trade environment, agility and unified solutions are mission critical. AIAG, building on its commitment to drive down cost and complexity across the automotive supply chain, has launched its third standardized tariff reporting template — this time for copper — delivered in record time following the formal release of the Executive Order establishing copper tariffs. The new copper tariff rates took effect at 12:01 AM EDT on August 1, 2025.
A Growing Suite for Evolving Needs
With the new AIAG Copper Derivatives Reporting Template, AIAG now offers a robust suite of resources—steel, aluminum, and copper — empowering OEMs and suppliers to:
- Standardize customs documentation and reporting
- Minimize errors, delays, and redundancies
- Enhance readiness for audits and regulatory changes
- Support seamless onboarding and global supply chain alignment
Collaboration at the Core
These reporting templates, developed in close partnership with leading OEMs and supplier members, demonstrate AIAG’s role as the industry’s collaborative catalyst. The Copper Derivatives Reporting Template was finalized and released just days after the new tariff rates took effect, with a commitment to revisit and update the tool should additional government classifications be released within the next 90 days.
