Last updated: July 2026 dataLinoleum — a resilient floor covering made from linseed oil, cork or wood flour, and mineral fillers on a burlap or canvas backing — is classified under a single US tariff line (5904100000) regardless of whether it is imported in rolls or pre-cut to shape. The Netherlands is by far the dominant supplier to the US market, a reflection of the long-established European linoleum manufacturing industry centered there, with the United Kingdom and Italy also among the top sources. Unlike vinyl flooring (classified in Chapter 39), linoleum's natural-material composition gives it a distinct environmental profile that has driven renewed commercial interest in sustainable building and renovation projects. Importers should confirm that the product meets the linseed-oil-based composition definition of linoleum, as vinyl or PVC floor coverings are classified separately and carry different duty treatment.

Linoleum (heading 5904) is defined by its composition: a mixture of linseed oil, cork or wood flour, and mineral fillers applied to a textile backing. Vinyl or PVC sheet flooring, by contrast, is a plastic product classified in Chapter 39. At the border, the distinction is made based on the composition of the wear layer — natural oxidized linseed oil binder versus synthetic PVC — which can be confirmed by manufacturer's specification sheets or laboratory analysis.
No. The heading explicitly covers linoleum 'whether or not cut to shape,' so tiles, planks, or custom-cut pieces of linoleum remain classified under 5904100000 regardless of whether they are imported in rolls or as pre-cut units. However, if linoleum is further made up into finished articles such as floor mats with bound edges or backing applied, classification in another heading may be appropriate.
