Amendments to Adjusting Imports of Timber, Lumber, and their Derivative Products into the United States

The order directs federal agencies to adjust imports of timber, lumber and their derivative products in the United States. The United States Trade Representative, in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce, is instructed to negotiate agreements with foreign countries to address national security concerns related to wood product imports. The order imposes a 10% tariff on certain softwood timber and lumber imports, and a 25% tariff on specific upholstered wooden products, kitchen cabinets, and vanities. These rates are scheduled to increase on January 1, 2027, unless agreements addressing the national security concerns are reached with the respective countries.
