On December 31, 2025, President Trump signed proclamation, Amendments to Adjusting Imports of Timber, Lumber, And Their Derivative Products into the United States, delaying higher tariffs on upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities until January 1, 2027. The proclamation cited “productive negotiations with trade partners to address trade reciprocity and national security concerns regarding imports of wood products” as the reason for the postponement. The tariff increases, originally scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2026, would have doubled tariffs on cabinets and vanities from 25 percent to 50 percent, and raised tariffs on upholstered wooden furniture to 30 percent. The tariff level will now remain at 25% for all the affected items.
