Trump Administration Signals New Tariff Investigation on Furniture Imports, Raising Industry Concerns

October 05, 2025

President Donald Trump announced plans to launch a 'major' tariff investigation into furniture imports, to be completed within 50 days. Following the investigation, tariffs at rates 'yet to be determined' would be imposed.

This move is part of an effort to bring furniture manufacturing back to the U.S. The announcement has created significant uncertainty for furniture retailers like Wayfair, RH, and Williams-Sonoma, which rely heavily on imported goods.

The potential for new tariffs could lead to increased sourcing costs, which may be passed on to consumers through higher retail prices. This development poses a substantial risk to the profitability and competitive dynamics of the furniture sector.
