Trump Delays Higher Tariffs on Furniture, Kitchen Cabinets for One Year

President Trump has announced he will be rolling back higher tariffs on furniture, kitchen cabinets and vanities that were set to go into effect on Jan. 1, 2026, until Jan. 1, 2027.

In October, the White House imposed a 25% tariff on kitchen cabinets, furniture and vanities, with the tariffs on furniture products slated to rise to 30% on Jan. 1, 2026, and the kitchen cabinet and vanity levies scheduled to double to 50% on the same date.

The move by the White House means that the 25% tariff on all these goods will stay at 25% at least through Jan. 1, 2027.

A White House fact sheet stated that “given the ongoing productive negotiations regarding the imports of wood products, the President is delaying the tariff increase to allow for further negotiations to occur with other countries.”

With housing affordability and cost-of-living issues a major concern for most Americans, Trump moved in November to roll back tariffs on many imported foods, such as beef, coffee and bananas.

With the nation facing a housing affordability crisis, NAHB continues to urge the president to exempt building materials as part of his tariff strategy because they raise construction costs, impede supply chains and place upward pressure on home prices.
