US EditionTrump postpones tariff hikes on furniture, kitchen cabinets for a year
Tariff increases on imported furniture and cabinets are postponed to Jan. 1, 2027, to allow further trade negotiations amid concerns over rising consumer prices.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation delaying tariff increases on upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets and vanities for one year, moving implementation to 2027.
- Following a Commerce Department probe under section 232, the tariffs were announced to protect the domestic wood industry amid criticism of Canada’s large lumber exports and national-security concerns.
- The initial tariffs began at 25% in October after a September order, with rates slated to rise to 50% for kitchen cabinets and 30% for upholstered furniture by 2026.
- Even before the 25% tariffs, prices had surged due to levies on imports from China and Vietnam, while Trump blamed the Biden administration for inflation amid political debate.
- The White House did not provide an explicit reason for the one-year delay in its statement, but officials said the U.S. continues negotiating with trade partners on trade reciprocity and national-security concerns around wood imports.
