New 50% Aluminum Tariff: What OEMs, Contractors & Fabricators Must Know

Effective June 4, 2025, the U.S. tariff on imported aluminum doubles from 25% to 50%, following President Trump's announcement on May 30th. Businesses relying on aluminum extrusions must act swiftly to manage potential impacts, including higher prices, supply shortages, and project delays.
At Orange Aluminum, we've successfully navigated past market disruptions, including previous tariff hikes and supply chain challenges. Based on this experience, we strongly encourage businesses to act now rather than risk delays later.
What This Aluminum Tariff Could Mean for You:
- Rising Costs – Expect increased prices for aluminum, affecting manufacturers and consumers alike
- Project Delays – Material shortages can lead to costly production and scheduling issues.
- Supply Shortages – Domestic suppliers will see heightened demand, potentially leading to longer lead times.
