Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary customs inspection risks for importing vinyl plank flooring (LVT/SPC) under HTS 391810?
The primary risk is a detailed material composition verification to ensure the product is primarily of polymers of vinyl chloride and not a composite with a textile face, which would classify under Chapter 57. Customs may also scrutinize the country of origin for anti-dumping/countervailing duty (AD/CVD) orders, as certain rigid vinyl flooring from countries like China is subject to such duties.
What are the primary additional costs and fees, beyond the product price, associated with importing vinyl chloride polymer flooring (LVT/SPC) under HTS 391810?
Importers face a 3.3% Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) tariff rate for HTS 391810, plus a Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) of 0.3464% of the entered value (minimum $27.23, maximum $614.35). Additionally, many shipments are subject to a Section 301 tariff of 25% on products of China, which is a significant potential hidden cost that must be calculated separately from the base duty.
Compliance Notes for Vinyl Flooring
Imported vinyl flooring (LVT/SPC) under 3918.10 is subject to US EPA Formaldehyde emission standards (TSCA Title VI) for composite wood products. For products with a foam backing, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Phase II limits for formaldehyde are also a key compliance checkpoint. Additionally, shipments may be subject to Anti-Dumping/Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) orders, specifically case number A-570-108 for luxury vinyl tile from China. Always verify if the product meets the applicable ASTM or ISO performance standards (e.g., ASTM F3261 for rigid core) required by distributors and retailers.
