Commodities traders are rushing to bring Brazilian coffee into the U.S. before a new 50% tariff on Brazilian goods takes effect on August 1. Some traders are rerouting ships mid-journey and skipping planned port stops to ensure coffee shipments arrive before the tariff deadline,

President Donald Trump has pledged a 50% tariff against Brazil, a major producer of green coffee beans. That could lead to higher coffee prices.
