Market Monitor (Jan 21-31): Tariff Hikes Delayed to 2027, Freight Updates & The New Butcher Block Collection

The American Kitchen Cabinet Alliance (AKCA) has expressed strong disappointment following the administration's decision to delay the scheduled tariff increase on kitchen cabinets. Originally set to rise from 25% to 50% in 2026, the implementation has now been postponed to January 1, 2027.

AKCA warns that this one-year delay threatens the livelihoods of U.S. workers by allowing foreign competitors to continue gaining market share at current rates. The alliance continues to advocate for stricter enforcement to protect the domestic cabinet industry.
