On December 31st, President Trump issued a proclamation delaying the increase of tariffs on timber, lumber, and their derivatives that would have taken effect on January 1, 2026. The increase for upholstered wooden furniture and completed kitchen cabinets and vanities is now slated to start January 1, 2027.

Below are the chapter 99 tariffs amended:

• 9903.76.02 – Upholstered wooden furniture, 25%, increasing to 30% on Jan 1, 2027
• 9903.76.03 – Completed kitchen cabinets and vanities, and their parts, 25%, increasing to 50% on Jan 1, 2027

No other changes to proclamation 10976 were made. We will continue to monitor this situation and issue updates as needed.
