U.S. Wood, Furniture Producers Plot Growth as Tariffs Loom

October 7, 2025--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--On October 14, the U.S. will begin imposing a 10% tariff on imported timber and lumber, and a 25% tariff on kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and upholstered furniture, such as couches, sofas and chairs. The decision follows a monthslong investigation by U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Commerce into trade practices related to wood products, which deemed the present import quantities a threat to national security. It is not yet clear how the looming tariffs will affect domestic manufacturers of these products; Industrial Info is tracking more than $1.3 billion worth of active and proposed U.S.-based projects in these fields.
