Trump sets 10% tariff on lumber imports, 25% on cabinets and furniture
On September 29, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation imposing tariffs on imported lumber, kitchen cabinets, and upholstered furniture in the United States.
The tariffs followed a Commerce Department report finding that rising wood imports threaten national security by weakening the domestic wood industry and economy.
The proclamation set a 10 percent duty on softwood timber and lumber, and a 25 percent duty on kitchen cabinets, vanities, and upholstered wooden products, effective October 14, 2025.
Tariff rates will increase January 1, 2026, to 30 percent for upholstered products and 50 percent for cabinets and vanities from countries without agreements, while negotiations progress.
The proclamation aims to boost domestic manufacturing, strengthen defense supply chains, encourage investment, and authorizes ongoing monitoring and adjustment of tariffed wood products.
