Furniture buyers have weathered years of uncertainty—from tariffs to global disruption. But 2025 brings a rare window of clarity and opportunity.

With tariff relief, stable freight, and stronger supplier support, 2025 is the best time to restart your sourcing from China.

Now that tariffs are lower and timelines are predictable again, let’s explore why serious importers are re-engaging Chinese suppliers—with confidence.

What Are the 2025 Tariff Changes for Chinese Furniture?

Tariffs shaped sourcing decisions for years. But this year, the script flipped.

In May 2025, the U.S. suspended 24% of additional tariffs, leaving only the standard 10% import duty on Chinese furniture.

Current Rate Breakdown:

This 90-day window offers cost savings and increased profit margin. Importers can now restock at reduced landed cost. Though the 24% may return, right now is a clear chance to move ahead.

Key Takeaway

If you paused orders due to tariffs, this is your best opening in years. Move now while the rate relief lasts.

Is It Still Profitable to Import Furniture from China in 2025?

Some buyers wonder if the savings still add up. With tariffs lower, the answer is simple.

Yes—China remains one of the most profitable sourcing countries for furniture¹ in 2025 due to cost structure, production scale, and logistics.

Profit Factors to Re-Evaluate

1. Tariff Savings²

For a $30 chair, a 24% tariff equals $7.20. That cost is now removed. Multiply across containers, and savings become substantial.

2. Lead Time Recovery

Production timelines are back to 25–35 days. Ports are no longer backed up. This reduces demurrage, late fees, and lost selling seasons.

3. Supplier Incentives

Many factories are offering:

• Mix-SKU loading (no surcharge)
• Shorter sampling time
• Volume-based discounts

The data is clear: for U.S. furniture importers, 2025 improves net margin while minimizing risk.

How Has China Maintained Its Edge as a Furniture Supplier?

Even during trade turbulence, buyers kept coming back. Why?

Because no other country matches China’s full-stack furniture ecosystem, from raw materials to certified testing.

Why China Still Leads

Raw Materials Within Reach

China manufactures its own steel bases, molded plastic parts, and mesh fabrics. Vietnam and others import these from China—adding cost and delay.

Massive Production Capacity

With 500–1,000 chairs/day per line, Chinese factories can scale from 1 container to 10 without skipping quality checks.

Certification Ready

Buyers today demand BIFMA, SGS, ISO, and EPR-compliant goods. Top-tier Chinese factories (like ours) already operate with those systems built-in.

If you want full customization, fast response, and reduced uncertainty—China still outperforms.

What Should U.S. Furniture Importers Know Before Reordering from China?

Restarting after a long pause? You’re not alone. Many buyers are returning after months—or years—of hesitation.

Before reordering, U.S. buyers should assess updated tariffs, factory readiness, and mix-SKU strategy to avoid inventory or margin mistakes.

Restart Smart: Key Considerations

1. Updated Tariff Planning³

Some brokers still quote outdated 34% duties. Confirm with your forwarder or ask your factory for real landed cost projection.

2. Supplier Verification⁴

• Visit their showroom or request live video tour.
• Ask for third-party audit reports or test certificates.
• Review container loading videos.

3. SKU Flexibility⁵

We recommend testing at least 2–3 models per order. You’ll reduce inventory pressure and see what sells best—especially for e-commerce.

4. Shipping Schedule Alignment

Plan booking 2–3 weeks earlier than in 2019. While production is fast, port schedules can change quickly.

Restarting sourcing isn’t risky—it’s strategic when you work with a supplier who helps you plan ahead.

As a Chinese factory owner, I’ve been through the ups and downs of global trade. We worked with U.S. buyers before the trade war, during COVID, and now again as tariffs ease. And one thing never changed—our commitment to stability and trust.
