Who This Page Is For
Three Types of US
Wholesale Flooring
Buyers — Which Are You?
US flooring procurement operates across three distinct purchasing models. Each has different volume thresholds, risk exposure and decision timelines. This page is structured around those differences. Understanding which model you operate under determines the correct product specification, container strategy and import documentation you need from us.
Regional Flooring Distributors
Importer · Wholesaler · Stock Buyer
You stock multiple SKUs across a territory and supply contractors and retailers. Your primary concern is landed cost per sqft, batch consistency and CBSA-free import clearance. A single HTS code error costs you 5–10 business days at the port.
Multi-Family & BTR Developers
Developer · Property Manager · GC
You specify flooring for 50–500+ unit projects on a fixed construction timeline. Acoustic compliance (IIC/STC) and dimensional stability are not optional — they determine whether your building passes CO inspection.
Commercial Flooring Contractors
Contractor · Fit-Out · Retail Chain
You specify and install for retail, hospitality and healthcare clients. Residual indentation and peel strength are your liability — not just a spec sheet number. Your client wants zero callbacks within 24 months.

Four Reasons US SPC
Flooring Projects
Fail at Import
Most SPC flooring failures on US commercial projects are not product failures. They are procurement failures — wrong specification, wrong import documentation, or wrong container loading. Each of these costs your project more than the flooring itself. Consequently, the four challenges below represent the highest-frequency risk events we resolve for US buyers.
Section 301 Tariff Misclassification
SPC flooring from China is subject to Section 301 tariffs (currently 25% under HTS 3918.10). Misclassification into an adjacent HTS heading triggers CBP audit, back-duties and potential seizure. Many US importers rely on their forwarder to classify — a single wrong digit costs four to five figures.
✓ We pre-classify HTS 3918.10 on every commercial invoiceIBC Acoustic Code Failure at CO
The International Building Code requires IIC 50 and STC 50 minimum for multi-family occupancies. Many low-cost SPC products test at IIC 42–48 without the correct underlayment system. Failing the acoustic inspection at certificate of occupancy delays handover by weeks and triggers costly remediation.
✓ IIC 72 / STC 71 with 1.5mm IXPE — test report includedContainer Overloading & Port Penalty
SPC density at 2,100 kg/m³ means a badly loaded 20GP can easily exceed the 21,500 kg safe payload limit. US ports (particularly Long Beach) enforce axle weight limits strictly. Forced transloading fees run $1,500–$3,000 and delay delivery by 3–7 days.
✓ Loading weight certificate ≤ 21,500 kg on every 20GPExpansion & Gapping in US Climate Extremes
US projects span Phoenix summers (+45°C) and Minneapolis winters (−30°C). SPC with stability > 0.1% gaps and buckles across open-plan layouts without transitions. Warranty claims on large multi-family projects routinely exceed the flooring material cost.
✓ ≤ 0.05% stability — 5× tighter than industry standardDownload our US Procurement Risk Checklist — 8 verification points every US importer should run before placing a factory order.
US Import GuideInstallation Systems
SPC & LVT Flooring
Systems for US
Commercial Projects
US commercial specifications do not say “vinyl flooring.” They specify by wear class, acoustic rating and installation method. Getting the system wrong means a failed inspection or a warranty claim. Below are the four systems we manufacture, matched to the US project types where each one is the correct specification.
⭐ US Primary Spec
SPC Click Flooring — USARigid Core · Multi-Family · BTR · Light Commercial
The default specification for US multi-family construction. 2,100 kg/m³ limestone-PVC core with ≤ 0.05% stability across US climate extremes — from Phoenix summers to Minneapolis winters. IIC 72 with 1.5mm IXPE backing meets IBC acoustic requirements without additional underlayment cost.
- IIC 72 / STC 71 — IBC multi-family code compliant
- 20mil (0.5mm) wear layer — tenant turnover grade
- FloorScore® — LEED v4 IEQ credit eligible
- 100% waterproof — kitchens, baths, basements
Heavy Commercial
Dryback LVT — US CommercialGlue-Down · Retail · Healthcare · Hospitality
Permanent adhesive installation. Peel strength ≥ 50 N/50mm. Zero movement under hospital beds, retail shelving and rolling stock. The specification for US healthcare, big-box retail and hotel corridors.
- ASTM F1700 Type III — commercial grade
- Residual indentation ≤ 0.05mm (ASTM F1914)
- 0.5–0.7mm wear for healthcare & retail
Fix & Flip · Retrofit
Loose Lay LVT — US RenovationNo-Glue · Fix & Flip · Office Retrofit
Friction-backed, no adhesive. 40–60% faster installation vs glue-down — the system of choice for US fix-and-flip investors and office retrofit contractors where downtime is a direct cost.
- No adhesive — same-day handover
- 5.0mm honeycomb anti-slip backing
- Raised-access floor compatible
Residential · PRS
LVT Click — US ResidentialFlexible Core · Apartments · Single-Family
Softer underfoot than rigid SPC — better acoustic comfort for upper-floor single-family and apartment installations where tenant noise complaints drive lease renewals in US PRS portfolio management.
- Uniclic — fast floating installation
- Higher comfort than SPC for tenant retention
- FloorScore® low-VOC certified

SPC Flooring Performance
Verified to US & ASTM Standards
US project specifications, LEED submittals and CBP customs entries require independently verified test data — not manufacturer marketing claims. Therefore, every figure below corresponds to a certified third-party test report. These reports are included with every Ecoflors US shipment. No separate request needed.

FloorScore® — US Indoor Air Quality
FloorScore® is the primary IAQ certification referenced by California Section 01350, LEED v4 Indoor Environmental Quality credits and GSA specifications. Our non-detectable formaldehyde and phthalate-free PVC composition satisfies all three. Certificate number supplied for LEED submittals.
ASTM F1700 — Commercial Vinyl Tile Standard
The primary US commercial specification for solid vinyl tile. Type III (20mil wear layer) is the minimum standard for multi-family housing, retail and hospitality applications where tenant durability and maintenance cycles are a procurement decision factor.
IBC Acoustic Code — IIC 50 / STC 50 Minimum
The International Building Code mandates IIC 50 and STC 50 minimum for floor-ceiling assemblies in multi-family residential. Our 6mm SPC + 1.5mm IXPE system achieves IIC 72 / STC 71 — 22 points above the IBC floor. No additional acoustic underlayment required, saving $2–4/sqft.
Section 301 Tariff — HTS 3918.10 Classification
SPC flooring from China is dutiable at 25% under Section 301 List 3, HTS heading 3918.10. Ecoflors pre-classifies every commercial invoice and provides supporting documentation to reduce CBP reclassification risk and eliminate post-clearance duty demands.

Container Loading — Weight Compliance for US Ports
SPC density at 2,100 kg/m³ is the single biggest risk factor in US container loading. Long Beach, Savannah and Houston all enforce axle weight limits strictly. An overloaded 20GP triggers forced transloading fees of $1,500–$3,000 and 3–7 day delays. Every Ecoflors US shipment includes a loading weight certificate confirming gross weight compliance before departure.
