On 25 September 2025, US President Donald Trump announced a new round of import tariffs, scheduled to take effect on 1 October 2025.
Key items affected include:
- Kitchen and bathroom cabinets: 50% tariff
- Upholstered furniture (sofas, chairs, etc.): 30% tariff
- Heavy-duty trucks: 25% tariff
- Branded or patented pharmaceuticals: up to 100% tariff, if entirely produced outside the US with no domestic manufacturing plan
According to Reuters, the announcement immediately sent shockwaves through global financial markets: US and Asian stock indices fell, while the US dollar saw heightened volatility. Politico and AP News noted that the tariffs form part of President Trump’s “domestic production protection” strategy, while simultaneously adding significant barriers to global supply chains.
Analysts warn that the policy will directly impact countries with high furniture export volumes to the US, including Vietnam – currently among the top five suppliers of furniture and cabinets to the American market.
