U.S. President Donald Trump announced a one-year delay in the increase of tariffs on certain imported furniture, originally scheduled to take effect this week.

The tariffs of 30% on some upholstered furniture and 50% on kitchen fixtures have been postponed until January 2027.

The White House said in a statement that the decision was made “due to productive ongoing negotiations regarding imports of wood products,” allowing for further discussions with other countries.

In October, Trump had imposed new sectoral tariffs of 10% on imported construction timber and 25% on furniture and kitchen fixtures, aiming, according to him, to protect U.S. industrial capacity.

The furniture sector, particularly in Vietnam, is among the most affected, representing nearly 10% of its exports to the United States.

Tariffs remain a cornerstone of Trump’s trade and diplomatic policy, used primarily to rebalance U.S. trade relations with the rest of the world.
