President Donald Trump announced a delay in planned tariff increases on upholstered furniture and cabinets until January 1, 2027, citing ongoing effective trade negotiations.
This decision could ease import costs, potentially benefiting U.S. housing markets and furniture importers by avoiding immediate price hikes.
Trump Delays Tariffs on Upholstered Furniture to 2027
On December 31, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed a proclamation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, delaying the planned tariff increases on upholstered furniture until January 1, 2027.
The decision is a result of ongoing productive negotiations with trade partners. Tariffs on cabinets and furniture will remain at 25% instead of rising to 50%, as initially planned. These negotiations aim to address national security concerns.
Tariff Delay Eases Pressure on U.S. Housing Market
The postponement provides temporary relief to U.S. housing affordability concerns and benefits furniture importers. Previous market reactions saw dips in stocks for companies like Wayfair, following initial plans for tariff increases.
While the announcement affects non-crypto sectors, it indicates a potential stabilization in impacted markets. Historical Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum have shown how negotiations can lead to positive adjustments in trade policies.
Comparisons to 2018 Steel and Aluminum Tariffs
Similar to Trump’s 2018 tariffs on steel and aluminum, this delay allows further negotiation flexibility. Past tariff impositions were adjusted after assessments of national security threats and import reliance.
Experts from Kanalcoin observe that while there is no direct cryptocurrency impact, the delay in tariffs reflects strategic diplomatic efforts. The furniture market stands to see improved trade conditions if negotiations continue productively.
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. – President Donald J. Trump
