US president\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a> has announced that there will be a 30 per cent tariff on upholstered furniture<\/a> being imported to the USA<\/a> from the start of October.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump announced the furniture tariffs, alongside a 50 per cent tariff on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities in a post on Trump Social yesterday evening<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We will be imposing a 50% Tariff on all kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and associated products, starting October 1st, 2025,” he wrote in the post.<\/p>\n

“Additionally, we will be charging a 30% tariff on upholstered furniture.”<\/p>\n

Products “flooding” into USA<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tariffs are set to be introduced following a “tariff investigation”, which was announced last month<\/a>\u00a0with the aim of bringing furniture businesses back to states such as North Carolina.<\/p>\n

According to Trump, the tariffs have been created to stop the “flooding” of furniture into the USA from other countries.<\/p>\n

“The reason for this is the large scale ‘flooding’ of these products into the United States by other outside countries,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

“It is a very unfair practice, but we must protect, for national security and other reasons, our manufacturing process.”<\/p>\n
