Overview

• President Trump raised Section 232 duties on imported aluminum to 50 percent in June to bolster domestic metal production.
• About 20 percent of the roughly 100 million pounds of aluminum AriZona uses annually comes from Canada and is now subject to the tariff.
• Don Vultaggio told The New York Times that without a deal to lower the Canadian levy, AriZona may have to raise its 99-cent price for the first time since 1997.
• AriZona has not formally announced a price increase and is evaluating measures such as packaging adjustments and alternative sourcing to offset higher metal costs.
• Industry groups and suppliers including Independent Can have already raised their rates, underscoring broader cost pressures on can-reliant food and beverage makers.
