Amendments to Adjusting Imports of Timber, Lumber, and Their Derivative Products Into the United States

Proclamation 11000 of December 31, 2025

Amendments to Adjusting Imports of Timber,
Lumber, and Their Derivative Products Into the United
States

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

1. On July 1, 2025, the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) transmitted to me a report on his
investigation into the effects of imports of timber,
lumber, and their derivative products (collectively,
wood products) on the national security of the United
States under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of
1962, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1862 (section 232). Based
on the facts considered in that investigation, the
Secretary found and advised me of his opinion that wood
products are being imported into the United States in
such quantities and under such circumstances as to
threaten to impair the national security of the United
States and provided recommendations for action under
section 232 to adjust the imports of wood products so
that such imports will not threaten to impair the
national security of the United States.

2. In Proclamation 10976 of September 29, 2025
(Adjusting Imports of Timber, Lumber, and Their
Derivative Products Into the United States), I
concurred in the Secretary's finding that wood products
are being imported into the United States in such
quantities and under such circumstances as to threaten
to impair the national security of the United States
and adopted a plan of action to adjust the imports of
wood products so that such imports will not threaten to
impair the national security of the United States.

3. In Proclamation 10976, I directed the United States
Trade Representative (Trade Representative), in
consultation with the Secretary and any senior official
the Trade Representative deemed appropriate, to pursue
negotiations of agreements or continue current
negotiations of agreements to address the threatened
impairment of the national security with respect to
imported wood products from any country and from time
to time update me on the status or outcome of those
negotiations. I also imposed a 10 percent ad valorem
tariff on imports of certain softwood timber and lumber
and a 25 percent ad valorem tariff on imports of
certain upholstered wooden products, kitchen cabinets,
and vanities. I further stated that on January 1, 2026,
the duty rate for upholstered furniture would increase
from 25 percent to 30 percent and the duty rate for
kitchen cabinets and vanities would increase from 25
percent to 50 percent except for countries with which
the United States reached an agreement that addresses
the threatened impairment of the national security
posed by imports of wood products.

4. The Trade Representative has informed me that the
United States continues to engage in productive
negotiations of agreements with multiple countries to
address the threatened impairment of the national
security with respect to imports of wood products.
After considering the information the Trade
Representative has provided me, among other things, I
determine that it is necessary and appropriate to
continue these negotiations and to delay for an
additional year the increase in the duty rates for
upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities.
In my judgment, the action in this proclamation will
result in more productive negotiations of agreements to
address the threatened impairment to the national
security found in Proclamation 10976, while the tariffs
imposed in Proclamation 10976 will continue to

adjust the imports of wood products and address the
threat to impair the national security found in
Proclamation 10976.

5. Section 232 authorizes the President to take action
to adjust the imports of an article and its derivatives
that are being imported into the United States in such
quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten
to impair the national security. Section 232 includes
the authority to adopt and carry out a plan of action,
with adjustments over time, to address the national
security threat. That initial plan of action may
include negotiations of agreements with foreign trading
partners along with other actions to adjust imports to
address the national security threat, including
tariffs.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by the authority vested in me
by the Constitution and the laws of the United States
of America, including section 232, and section 301 of
title 3, United States Code, do hereby proclaim as
follows:

(1) Proclamation 10976 is amended by revising
clause 5 to read as follows:
``(5) The rates of duty established in this
proclamation shall apply with respect to goods entered
for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight
time on October 14, 2025. Effective January 1, 2027,
the duty rate in clause 2 shall increase to 30 percent
and the duty rate in clause 3 shall increase to 50
percent, and shall continue in effect, except for
countries with which the United States reaches an
agreement that addresses the threatened impairment of
the national security posed by imports of wood
products. Except as otherwise provided in this
proclamation, the tariffs imposed in this proclamation
are in addition to any other duties, taxes, fees,
exactions, and charges applicable to such imported wood
products.''
(2) The Trade Representative, in consultation with
the Secretary and any senior official the Trade
Representative deems appropriate, shall pursue
negotiations of agreements or continue current
negotiations of agreements to address the threatened
impairment of the national security with respect to
imported wood products from any country. The Trade
Representative shall, from time to time, update me on
the status or outcome of the negotiations described in
Proclamation 10976 and this proclamation. The Trade
Representative shall provide one of these updates
shortly before the date that is 180 days after the date
of Proclamation 10976.
(3) Any provision of previous proclamations and
Executive Orders that is inconsistent with the actions
taken in this proclamation is superseded to the extent
of such inconsistency. If any provision of this
proclamation or the application of any provision to any
individual or circumstance is held to be invalid, the
remainder of this proclamation and the application of
its provisions to any other individuals or
circumstances shall not be affected.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
thirty-first day of December, in the year of our Lord
two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of
the United States of America the two hundred and
fiftieth.
