How the Tariff Rate is Calculated
The tariff structure for furniture follows the US stacking formula: the MFN base rate of 5%, plus bilateral deal rate of 35%. The special tariff layer (the highest of Section 122, Section 232, or bilateral rates) is 35%, which combines with the MFN base to produce a subtotal before Section 301 duties. Adding all layers yields a total tariff rate of 40%. On a customs value of $10,600.00, this translates to total duties of $4,240.00, plus the Merchandise Processing Fee of $36.72 and Harbor Maintenance Fee of $13.25. The total landed cost including all fees reaches $14,889.97.
Trade Context
The United States imported $420B in goods from Canada in 2024, making it a significant trading partner in the North America region. Key import categories from Canada include crude oil petroleum, passenger vehicles, lumber wood products, reflecting the country's industrial and agricultural strengths. Furniture represents an important segment of this trade relationship, with demand driven by both price competitiveness and product availability in the US market. The bilateral trade volume underscores the economic significance of tariff policy decisions affecting imports from Canada.
What Happens When Section 122 Expires?
Section 122 does not directly affect imports of furniture from Canada because the bilateral trade agreement rate of 35% replaces the standard Section 122 surcharge. If Section 122 expires on July 24, 2026, the bilateral deal terms may be renegotiated. Importers should monitor developments in the bilateral relationship and any potential changes to the negotiated rate structure.
Alternative Sourcing Countries for Furniture
Importers looking for lower tariff costs on furniture may consider sourcing from Mexico (effective rate 15%, saving approximately 25.0 percentage points); Germany (effective rate 15%, saving approximately 25.0 percentage points); Japan (effective rate 15%, saving approximately 25.0 percentage points). Compared to Canada's total effective rate of 40%, these alternatives offer potential cost savings depending on the specific product classification and applicable trade agreements. Each alternative carries its own tariff structure, so importers should calculate the full landed cost before switching suppliers.

The standard Section 122 surcharge has been replaced by a bilateral deal rate of 35% for Canada. This bilateral agreement, effective since 2026-02-24, supersedes the general Section 122 rate. The bilateral rate applies instead of (not in addition to) the Section 122 surcharge.

The current tariff rate of 40% would remain based on other applicable tariff layers. However, broader trade policy changes surrounding the Section 122 expiration could affect overall tariff structures.
