WASHINGTON—The White House announced on July 30 a new round of tariff updates, with President Donald Trump signing executive orders to end all tariff exemptions on low-cost shipments, impose 50 percent tariffs on copper, and raise levies on imports from Brazil.

Expanding an order signed in May that targeted low-value imports direct from China and Hong Kong, Trump signed an order suspending the duty-free treatment of all low-value commercial shipments into the United States, effectively ending the global application of the longstanding de minimis trade exemption.
