Toronto, September 26, 2025
US President Donald Trump announced last night, via Truth Social posts, a new round of tariffs would take effect next week for certain goods imported into the U.S.:
“Starting October 1st, 2025, we will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any branded or patented Pharmaceutical Product, unless a Company IS BUILDING their Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant in America…”
“We will be imposing a 50% Tariff on all Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Vanities, and associated products, starting October 1st, 2025. Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture…”
The tariffs will be issued under a provision of a national security law, known as Section 232, that has been used previously to issue tariffs on steel, aluminum, cars and copper. Earlier this week, the Trump administration announced that it was beginning new investigations under the law into imports of robotics, industrial machinery, and medical devices, which could result in tariffs.
Other tariffs on U.S. imports, including semiconductors and critical minerals, are expected in the coming weeks.
