Here are 6 smart buys before the new tariffs take effect on August 1—you’ll beat price hikes and dodge added duties:

1. Consumer electronics (laptops, tablets, TVs, gaming consoles)
   Tariffs are expanding to semiconductors and electronics—including Apple and Samsung devices
2. Constitution Online+1. Now’s the time to upgrade gadgets.
3. Home appliances (washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers)
   Already hit by steel/aluminum levies, now facing further increases
4. Cookware & kitchen tools
   With furniture and home goods largely imported, cookware prices will spike too
5. Copper-based items (wire, electronics, plumbing supplies)
   A hefty 50% tariff on copper imports starts August 1
6. Clothing & footwear
   Tariffs on textiles are driving shoe prices up ~44%, apparel up ~40%
7. Solar panels & renewable gear
   Electric components use copper and semiconductors—both targeted under new tariffs—so solar gear prices could surge.
