The United States is set to enforce a significant 50% tariff on imports of kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and related products beginning on October 1st, as announced by President Donald Trump. Additionally, a 30% tariff will be implemented on upholstered furniture imports.
According to Trump's statement on the social media platform Truth Social, the primary reason behind these tariffs is to counter the large-scale influx of these goods into the U.S market by other countries, a practice perceived as unfair by the administration.
Trump emphasized that the decision is crucial to safeguarding the national manufacturing sector, with implications for national security and other vital interests.
