2025 Tariffs Info

Update 4/10/2025:

As you may be aware, the U.S. announced reciprocal tariffs on approximately 180 countries effective at midnight, April 9, 2025. Before the tariffs were fully implemented, a postponement of 90 days was announced with respect to the reciprocal tariff rate, but the U.S. further imposed a minimum 10% tariff during this 90-day period.

Products traded between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada that are USMCA compliant will continue to be traded without any incremental tariffs notwithstanding tariffs imposed by both Canada and the U.S. on certain categories of products. As of this date, the retaliatory tariffs imposed by Canada on certain flooring categories (25%) effective March 4, 2025, remain in effect. Several communications from U.S. suppliers have been forwarded to Canadian members with respect to their specific tariff surcharge.

Here’s what we do know:

• LVT will be the category most impacted as approximately 80% of the LVT sold in the U.S. is manufactured outside of the U.S. However, categories such as wood, laminate, and ceramic will be affected as well.
• Tariffs, when imposed, will be collected on new inventory entering the U.S. from the tariffed country. At this time, inventory exists in the U.S. on most of the impacted products meaning that wholesale costs will not be impacted immediately. Further, any incoming freight that left its port of origin prior to the effective date (Midnight April 9th) will not be levied a tariff upon arrival in the U.S.
• The date when a cost increase might be passed through is unknown. We will work with each supplier individually and provide updates.
• Many of the tariff rates (%) announced yesterday might change in the near term as tariffed countries adjust the tariffs that they impose on goods imported from the U.S.

We will continue to gather additional information and consult with our suppliers. As we gather more information, we’ll pass any news through. We anticipate providing regular updates as more information becomes available

Stanton Update 4/22/2025:

Impact on Prices based on current tariffs
The majority of soft surface carpet will increase an average of 6.5%. The only exceptions include a small percent of soft surface products from China. We recognize the current 145% tariff on China-based products would make them too expensive. With that in mind, these products will increase an average of 25% with Stanton absorbing the majority to minimize the impact on you and your customers. Rigid Core WPC, SPC, and Flex LVT will increase an average of 4%. Please note there will be no increase for laminate and hardwood products

Effective Dates
These tariff-based price increases will be effective with orders placed as of May 19th. 

Future Adjustments
We understand that tariffs may change. As changes occur, we will adjust our prices accordingly. Our team is working diligently to mitigate the effects while ensuring we exceed your design, quality, service, and value expectations.
