Trump’s Wood Tariffs Are Here. Who’s Hit The Hardest

President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs on imported lumber and wood products that his administration says are needed to protect the US economy and boost domestic manufacturing. As of Oct. 14, softwood lumber faces 10% duties, while kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and other finished wood goods are subject to 25% tariffs that rise further in January.

The biggest blow will fall on Canada, the US’s top lumber supplier, whose lumber exports were already subject to separate duties totaling 35.19%. The two countries have been locked in a decades-long dispute over US claims that Canada unfairly subsidizes its lumber industry and sells the commodity below market rates.
