Canada and the UK: duty per 100,000
6,500 or nothing into Canada. 6,000 or nothing into the UK.

On every 100,000 of vinyl flooring entered into Canada, China-made pays 6,500 in duty and Malaysian-made pays nothing. Into the UK it is 6,000 against nothing.
The rates, checked with each customs authority on 12 October 2026:
- Canada, tariff item 3918.10.90: 6.5% MFN, free under the CPTPP
- UK, commodity 3918 10 90 90: 6% third-country duty, 0% under the CPTPP preference
China is not a CPTPP member, so it pays the full rate into both.
Two conditions come with the zero. The flooring has to qualify as Malaysian-originating under the CPTPP rules, which means made there, not cut or packed there. And the importer has to claim it, with the origin declaration behind the claim. If the claim is wrong, it is the importer who repays the duty.
Over a year of containers, 6 to 6.5 points is a real line in your landed cost, not a rounding error.
We make in both Malaysia and China. Message us with your Canadian or UK volume and we will cost both origins side by side.
