President Donald Trump has laid out plans to impose tariffs on a range of strategic imports, including timber, wood products and furniture. An executive order signed on Monday includes tariffs of 25% on upholstered furniture and 10% on softwood timber and lumber that take effect October 14, with exceptions for some trading partners, such as the United Kingdom.
