President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Sept. 29 imposing a 10 percent tariff on imports of softwood timber and lumber, along with a 25 percent duty on imported kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and upholstered furniture.
The tariffs will take effect on Oct. 14, with certain imports facing higher rates next year, according to the proclamation.
