Canada imposes provisional safeguard tariff on certain wood cabinets and vanities

Temporary 25% safeguard duty on specified wood cabinets and vanities while injury investigations are underway

august 13, 2026

Canada is imposing a provisional 25% safeguard duty on certain wood cabinets and vanities imported from most countries, effective July 31, 2026.

The duty applies to specified wooden kitchen cabinets, medicine and vanity cabinets, other cabinets, and certain wooden furniture parts and subassemblies. It may remain in place for up to 200 days while the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) determines whether imports have injured the domestic industry.

Exclusions include qualifying goods that were in transit as of July 31, 2026, cabinets originating from the United States, Mexico, Israel, Chile, and certain developing countries, and certain casual goods.

The CITT is expected to issue its report by January 15, 2027. If the tribunal ultimately finds no injury to the domestic industry, the provisional duties could be refunded.
