New Section 232 Tariffs for Lumber, Kitchen Cabinets, Other Wood Products set to become effective on October 14, 2025.

The administration announced on Sept. 29 the implementation of Section 232 tariffs for lumber, kitchen cabinets and vanities, and other wood products to take effect on 12:01 a.m. ET on Oct. 14.

The rates of duty established in this proclamation shall apply with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. ET on Oct. 14, the proclamation said. Specifically, the tariffs include:

10% global tariff on imports of softwood lumber.

25% global tariff on certain upholstered furniture, which will increase to 30% on Jan. 1.

25% global tariff on kitchen cabinets and vanities, which will increase to 50% on Jan. 1.

“Products that are not subject to these Section 232 tariffs will generally be subject instead to reciprocal tariffs,” the administration said, adding that the treatment of products on the list of Potential Tariff Adjustments for Aligned Partners (PTAAP) “remains unchanged unless an antidumping or countervailing duty order applies.”
