Trump reporte d'un an la hausse des tarifs sur les meubles et les armoires
AI Article Summary
President Donald Trump has postponed the tariff hike on certain imported furniture by one year, initially scheduled for January 2026. The tariffs of 30% on upholstered furniture and 50% on kitchen fixtures are now deferred to January 2027. This decision was made due to ongoing negotiations regarding wood goods imports. Vietnam, a significant furniture exporter to the U.S., is notably affected by these measures.

This could encourage the continuation of residential construction projects in the short term without changes to initial budgets. However, it is essential to plan long-term by anticipating potential future tariff increases.
