For years, European flooring importers, wholesalers, and contractors have faced a growing problem: high EU tariffs on engineered wood flooring from China. These duties, often reaching up to 20%, directly reduce profit margins, increase project costs, and make it harder for distributors to stay competitive in a tight market.
But there’s good news. At VIFLOOR, we provide a clear and proven solution. With production facilities in Cambodia and Thailand, we supply 3-layer European oak engineered flooring that is 100% tariff-free for the EU market.

Why EU Tariffs Hurt Your Business
- Shrinking Margins: A 15–20% tariff can turn profitable projects into break-even deals.
- Price Pressure: Competitors with tariff-free supply chains can offer lower bids and win projects.
- Uncertainty: Customs delays and compliance issues add hidden risks.
- Lost Opportunities: Retailers and contractors look for reliable, affordable supply—tariff costs make your offer less attractive.
For flooring buyers across Europe, tariffs are not just a tax—they are a competitive disadvantage.
