President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation on December 31, 2025 that amends the earlier Proclamation 10976, which adjusted U.S. imports of timber, lumber and related wood products. The amendment revises tariff rates and implementation dates: the 10 percent ad‑valorem duty on softwood timber and lumber and the 25 percent duty on upholstered wooden products, kitchen cabinets and vanities will remain in effect, but increases to 30 percent and 50 percent are postponed until January 1, 2027. The change also extends the deadline for the United States Trade Representative to update the President on negotiations with foreign partners concerning these imports, with a report required 180 days after Proclamation 10976. The proclamation supersedes any inconsistent earlier orders and confirms the President’s authority under section 232 to adjust imports that threaten national security.
