Amendments to Adjusting Imports of Timber, Lumber, and Their Derivative Products Into the United States

Key Points

• Trump keeps current import taxes on some wood products in place and pushes back the planned increases by 1 year.
• The higher rates now start January 1, 2027: upholstered wood furniture goes to 30%, and kitchen cabinets and vanities go to 50%.
• The earlier tariffs from 2025 still apply, including a 10% tariff on certain softwood timber and lumber and 25% on some wood furniture and cabinets.
• Countries that reach a deal with the U.S. to address the national security concerns could avoid the higher tariff rates.
• For everyday shoppers, this can affect prices for furniture, cabinets, and home remodel materials, depending on how much is imported.
