In an Executive Order (EO) published on December 31, 2025, the White House announced that they were delaying the increase in Section 232 duty rates for upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities.

These duties were scheduled to increase from 25% to 30% for furniture and 50% for cabinets on January 1, 2026. The Section 232 duties are delayed to assist ongoing negotiations with “multiple countries.”

The Section 232 duty rates for upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities will now increase on January 1, 2027.
