Trump Administration Delays Section 232 Tariff Increases for Upholstered Furniture and Kitchen Cabinets

‍

President Trump on Dec. 31 signed a Proclamation to delay the anticipated Section 232 tariff increases for imports of upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities for another year.

Under the initial Sept. 29, 2025, presidential proclamation, the Section 232 tariff increases for imports of upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities were set to take effect today at 12:01 a.m. ET on Jan. 1, 2026.

The current 25% import tariff on certain upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities, as imposed under the Sept. 25, 2025, Proclamation, however, remains in effect.

The NCBFAA Customs Committee and Counsel of Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg, P.A., will continue to monitor this action by the Trump Administration, including Customs and Border Protection (CBP) guidance, and will provide updates to our members as received.
