US delays new tariffs on upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets

The 25-per cent tariff applicable now on certain upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets and vanities, as imposed under the September 25, 2025, Proclamation, will remain in effect.

Trump recognises that an overreliance on foreign timber, lumber and their derivative products could jeopardise US defense capabilities, construction industry and economic strength, a White House fact sheet said.

Given the ongoing productive negotiations regarding the imports of wood products, Trump is delaying the tariff increase to allow for further negotiations to occur with other countries, it noted.
