Last updated: August 2026 dataVietnam leads US imports of PVC floor and wall coverings under this heading, followed by Thailand and South Korea, reflecting the concentration of luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and vinyl plank manufacturing in Southeast Asia. The US tariff schedule subdivides the heading by product form and construction: vinyl tile is split among rigid solid-core (3918101020), rigid expanded-core (3918101030), and other tile (3918101040), while wall and ceiling coverings are further differentiated by whether the textile backing is man-made woven, man-made nonwoven, or other textile. Importers should note that Chinese-origin goods in this category have been subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin documentation and country-of-origin determinations especially important when supply chains span multiple Southeast Asian countries.

The schedule separates vinyl tile (3918101000-series) from other PVC floor coverings (3918102000) and further splits vinyl tile by core construction: rigid solid polymer core (3918101020), rigid expanded polymer core (3918101030), and a residual 'NESOI' line (3918101040). The core-type distinction matters because rigid solid-core products — commonly called SPC (stone plastic composite) — may be classified differently from traditional flexible vinyl tile.
Classification turns on the fiber type and weave of the backing: man-made fiber woven (3918103110), man-made fiber nonwoven (3918103150), and non-man-made textile variants each carry separate tariff lines. Importers should obtain mill certificates or fabric composition reports from the manufacturer to support the correct subheading declaration and avoid reclassification at the port.
