In 2025, changes to U.S. trade policy have introduced new tariffs on imported goods including many flooring materials. For homeowners, designers, and builders sourcing premium surfaces, these changes may influence pricing, availability, and long-term value.

Baseline Tariff: A universal 10% tariff now applies to all imported goods.

Country-Specific Tariffs: Additional tariffs were announced for key flooring exporters:

• China: 145% total tariff (no pause)

• Vietnam: 56% (paused for 90 days, currently 10%)
• Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia: Paused at 10% until July 9, 2025

According to floorzap.com, these countries supply a significant portion of luxury vinyl tile (LVT), engineered hardwood, and ceramic tile—materials often used in high-end residential and commercial projects.

What This Means for the Flooring Industry:

• • Price Volatility: Products sourced from China, especially LVT, may see sharp price increases due to the 145% tariff.

• • Supply Chain Shifts: Distributors and retailers are exploring alternative sourcing, which could affect lead times and product selection.

• • Domestic Advantage: U.S. based manufacturers may gain traction, offering more stable pricing and faster delivery.

• • Inventory Cushioning: Many suppliers stocked up ahead of the tariffs, so immediate price hikes may be delayed, but not avoided.
