Frequently Asked Questions
What is the import duty on furniture from China in 2026?
Chinese furniture pays three layers: (1) MFN duty — Free for most furniture, 3–3.9% for mattresses and lamps; (2) Section 301 — 25% on nearly all furniture (List 3); (3) the 12.5% forced-labor tariff that replaced Section 122 on 24 July 2026. Upholstered wooden seats (9401.61) and kitchen cabinets (9403.40) are under Section 232 instead: 25% on top of the Section 301 rate, for 50% in total. Wooden bedroom furniture can also carry anti-dumping duty.
Are there anti-dumping duties on Chinese furniture in addition to Section 301?
Yes. Wooden bedroom furniture from China has been subject to anti-dumping duty orders (ADD) since 2005. ADD rates vary by manufacturer — some suppliers have zero-ADD status through their own review rates; others face duties of 100%+. Before importing wooden bedroom furniture (HTS 9403.50), always verify the specific AD/CVD cash deposit rate for your supplier through the CBP ADD/CVD lookup tool. Section 301 stacks on top of any AD/CVD.
Which country is cheapest to import furniture from to the US?
USMCA-qualifying Mexican furniture is cheapest: 0% base and exempt from the forced-labor tariff, plus short freight — though upholstered wooden seats and kitchen cabinets still pay the 25% Section 232 wood tariff. Among Asian origins, Malaysia and India (10% tier) come in at about 10%, Vietnam at 12.5%, and China at 37.5% or 50% for upholstered seating. Check Vietnamese suppliers for AD/CVD orders on specific products.
How do I verify my supplier's anti-dumping rate for wooden bedroom furniture?
The US International Trade Commission (USITC) and CBP maintain ADD/CVD order tracking. For wooden bedroom furniture from China, the relevant case is A-570-890. You can look up your specific supplier's exporter-specific rate via the CBP ACE portal or the Commerce Department's ACCESS system. If your supplier is not individually reviewed, they likely fall under the China-wide rate, which is very high. Always verify before placing large orders.
What replaced Section 122 for furniture from China?
Section 122 expired on 24 July 2026 and the 12.5% forced-labor Section 301 tariff replaced it the same day, so most Chinese furniture went from 35% to 37.5%. Upholstered wooden seats and kitchen cabinets pay Section 232 (25%) instead of the 12.5%, so they are at 50% with Section 301.
