<\/span>President Donald Trump said that his administration will launch a \"major\" tariff investigation on furniture imports, a move that could pave the way for higher duties on a sector already hit by rising prices.<\/p>\n

\"Furniture coming from other Countries into the United States will be Tariffed at a Rate yet to be determined,\" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

The White House confirmed the probe will be carried out under Section 232 of the national security statute. Trump said it would be completed within 50 days, though past investigations have taken longer.<\/p>\n

The review could also provide a legal basis to uphold existing tariffs if a federal appeals court overturns \"reciprocal\" duties Trump imposed in April on multiple U.S. trading partners, along with levies announced in February on China, Canada and Mexico.<\/p>\n

Shares of furniture retailer RH (RH.N), formerly Restoration Hardware, fell 7.5% in after-hours trading following Trump\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n

Trump argued the tariffs would restore U.S. furniture production. \"This will bring the Furniture Business back to North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan, and States all across the Union,\" he said.<\/p>\n

Furniture and wood products manufacturing has steadily declined in recent decades, dropping from 681,000 jobs in 2000 to 340,000 today, down from 1.2 million in 1979, according to government data.<\/p>\n

The U.S. imported about $25.5 billion worth of furniture in 2024, a 7% increase from 2023, with roughly 60% coming from Vietnam and China, according to industry publication Furniture Today. Tariffs on imports have already pushed consumer prices for home furnishings up 0.7% in July, Commerce Department data showed, though lower gasoline prices kept overall inflation in check.<\/p>\n

Industry opposition<\/strong><\/p>\n

The American Home Furnishings Alliance (AHFA), which represents both U.S. manufacturers and importers, had no immediate comment Friday. But in April, the group led opposition to Trump\u2019s earlier Section 232 probe into lumber and wood product imports.<\/p>\n

\"As a strictly legal matter, there is no rational relationship between imports of wood products or furniture and the national security of the United States,\" the group said in comments to the Commerce Department. \"Second, no amount of tariffs will bring back American furniture manufacturing back to its prior levels. Tariffs will harm manufacturing still being done in the United States.\"<\/p>\n

Furniture is the latest product to come under national security scrutiny. On Thursday, the Trump administration opened a Section 232 probe into imported wind turbines and has previously targeted copper and other metals. The Commerce Department has also examined imports of airplanes, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, heavy trucks, timber and lumber, critical minerals and drones.<\/p>\n

The European Union secured partial relief from potential new Section 232 tariffs in a joint statement issued Thursday with Washington. The two sides agreed to cap tariffs on EU pharmaceuticals, lumber and semiconductors at the general 15% rate and to exempt EU aircraft and parts, generic pharmaceuticals and drug precursors from any new U.S. duties.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
