China's imports of refined copper fell for a second straight month to 219,731 tonnes in August from 292,226 tonnes in July, data from the General Administration of Customs showed on Tuesday.

Imports of primary aluminium to China, the world's top copper and aluminium consumer, dropped to 117,213 tonnes in August from 131,724 tonnes in July.

Chinese copper and aluminium prices stayed lower than the cost of imports last month following increased domestic stocks resulting from record inflows in the first half of the year, cutting spot buying from merchants and speculators.
