 U.S imports more Congo copper as consumer acceptance grows


U.S. buyers are increasingly turning to copper from the Democratic ​Republic of Congo, helping drive record imports from the African producer as industrial consumers ‌capitalise on discounts to COMEX-approved brands.


Copper cathode deliveries from the world's second-biggest copper-producing nation hit a record 53,290 metric tons in July, according to U.S. trade data. That gave Congo a 23.9% share of overall imports, which exceeded ​220,000 tons for the first time as traders rushed to ship metal ahead of a potential ​tariff.


The numbers illustrate the rise in popularity of Congo's copper in the United ⁠States, which imported less than 32,000 tons of copper from the country in the whole of 202, Reuters reported.


The increase is even ​more noteworthy given that no copper brands from the Congo are deliverable on the U.S. COMEX exchange. Only two African copper brands - both from Zambia - are on the COMEX list. More than one-third of COMEX-approved brands are from Chile ​and Peru.
