flag Trump to impose 30-50% tariffs on imported furniture starting Oct. 1, 2025, targeting China, Vietnam.

flag President Donald Trump has announced plans for "substantial" tariffs on imported furniture, including a 50% duty on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities and a 30% tariff on upholstered furniture, set to take effect October 1, 2025. flag The move, framed as a effort to protect U.S. manufacturing and national security, targets countries like China and Vietnam, major sources of U.S. furniture imports. flag IKEA warned the tariffs could lead to higher consumer prices, undermining its goal of affordable home furnishings. flag The announcement follows prior tariff hikes and comes ahead of a Supreme Court case on the legality of country-specific tariffs. flag While the White House has not provided further details, economists and consumer advocates caution the measures may increase inflation and strain household budgets.
