In today’s construction environment, every decision affects your timeline and your bottom line. From sourcing to installation, builders rely on predictability—and few choices impact that more than your cabinetry.
At Built Cabinets, we believe choosing American-made cabinets aren’t just about where they’re built—it’s about keeping your projects efficient, consistent, and profitable.
1. Global Tariffs and the Cabinet Market
The cabinetry industry is changing fast. With new U.S. trade policies in effect, imported cabinets are being hit with major cost increases.
- A universal 10% tariff was introduced for most imported cabinets in 2025.
- Certain countries now face tariffs of 20% or more, driving up both prices and lead times.
- Additional duties on steel, aluminum, and hardware components are raising costs across the board.
What that means for your project: relying on imported cabinets can now mean higher prices, fewer options, and unpredictable delivery schedules.
2. How These Tariffs Affect Your Build
Increased Cost: Imported cabinets can carry an additional 20%+ in tariffs, especially from high-duty countries.
Supply Chain Delays: Overseas manufacturing and customs hold-ups often stretch lead times by weeks or months—impacting your ability to stay on schedule.
Budget Instability: Builders and remodelers are being forced to swap finishes or door styles mid-project as costs shift, which can compromise both design integrity and client trust.
By contrast, American-made cabinetry avoids these risks—offering cost stability, consistent supply, and shorter lead times.

4. What to Ask When Specifying Cabinets
Before ordering, make sure your supplier can answer:
- Where are the cabinets manufactured—and what tariff risk applies?
- How are deliveries handled—direct to your jobsite or through third-party carriers?
- How is finish consistency and quality control managed?
- What warranty or guarantee stands behind the product?
At Built Cabinets, we’re transparent from the start—because builders deserve clear answers and reliable partners.
