Investing.com -- U.S. furniture retailers saw stock declines following President Donald Trump’s announcement of new import tariffs.
The tariffs, set to take effect on October 1, include a 30% duty on upholstered furniture and a 50% tariff on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities.
These measures are part of a broader strategy to bolster domestic manufacturing and address trade imbalances.
Shares of Wayfair Inc, Restoration Hardware and Williams-Sonoma Inc were trading lower between 2.6% to 4.4% in pre-market trade.
The increased costs associated with the tariffs may lead to higher prices for consumers and could affect the profitability of companies that rely heavily on imported goods.
Additionally, the tariffs may disrupt existing supply chains and necessitate adjustments in sourcing strategies.
