Trump Delays Tariff Hikes on Wood Furniture and Cabinets, Pushing Higher Rates to 2027

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

2 months ago·View on Federal Register

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.

What Happens Next

Projected impacts based on AI analysis

2027-01-01

Higher tariff rates are scheduled to start for covered items

If no country-specific agreement is reached, imports of certain upholstered wooden products move to a 30% rate, and certain kitchen cabinets and vanities move to a 50% rate. This can raise costs for importers and often raises retail prices for shoppers and remodelers

Throughout 2026

Trade negotiations continue and some countries may reach agreements

If agreements are reached, some imports from those countries could avoid the higher rates that otherwise begin in 2027. That can affect prices, product availability, and which suppliers U.S. businesses use
