      Canada: 50% duty widens to more furniture, seat and mattress lines on September 15, 2026

      A new proclamation changed the list of Canadian goods that carry the extra 50% duty (the motor-vehicle dispute list). It adds many more furniture and bedding lines: seats that convert into beds, bent-wood, plastic, bamboo, rattan and cane furniture (9403), more kinds of seats and seat parts (9401), mattress supports (9404.10) and mattresses (9404.21 and 9404.29). It also removes eight non-furniture lines, such as salt, Portland cement, refined lead and fishing rod parts. The changes apply to goods entered on or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern on September 15, 2026. The proclamation says the 50% duty applies in addition to Section 232 duties. The first proclamation had said it did not apply to articles subject to Section 232 duties. A furniture or mattress business that buys from Canada should check each product's HTS code against Annex I, Part A (added) and Part B (removed), and plan for the added cost (this is a summary, not legal advice).

      Canada: extra 50% duty on certain furniture and seats starts August 22, 2026

      The President ordered an extra 50% duty on a list of Canadian products, in a dispute over Canada's tariffs on U.S. motor vehicles. The list in Annex II includes some furniture and seats: wooden furniture (9403.60.80), wooden bedroom furniture (9403.50.90), metal furniture other than office furniture (9403.20.00), plastic furniture (9403.70.80), non-teak wooden-frame chairs that are not upholstered (9401.69.60), swivel seats with height adjustment and no wooden frame (9401.39), metal-frame seats (9401.71, 9401.79) and parts. The duty was set for August 19, 2026, paused for three days, and began at 12:01 a.m. Eastern on August 22, 2026. As first issued, it is added to other duties but does not apply to articles that are subject to Section 232 duties. A later proclamation, covered in the September 15 entry, added many more furniture and mattress lines and says the duty applies in addition to Section 232 duties. A furniture business that imports from Canada should check its HTS codes against the list in Annex II and the date each entry was entered (this is a summary, not legal advice).

      Section 301 tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on goods from 60 economies start July 24, 2026

      The U.S. Trade Representative put new Section 301 tariffs on products of 60 economies. Seventeen economies, including Canada, Mexico, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia and the United Kingdom, pay 10%. For the European Union and Taiwan, the new tariff is only the gap between a product's normal (MFN) duty and 10%. For Japan, South Korea and Switzerland it is the gap up to 12.5%. If the normal duty is already that high, the new tariff is zero. The other 38 economies, including China, Vietnam, Thailand, Brazil, Türkiye and the Philippines, pay 12.5%. The tariffs apply to goods entered on or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern on July 24, 2026. Goods loaded on a vessel and in transit before that time are not charged if they were entered before 12:01 a.m. Eastern on July 28, 2026. Also not charged: articles of steel, aluminum or copper, vehicles and vehicle parts, semiconductors, the wood products named in the notice, and Canadian or Mexican goods entered duty-free under USMCA. A furniture business should check each product's country of origin, the exemption lists in Annexes I and II, and the other tariffs already on it (this is a summary, not legal advice).
