Two gaps sit between a resinous flooring crew and the revenue it could be producing. One is what you pay for material. The other is what kind of work you pour it on.
Moving to a US toll blender producing under your own label, instead of buying someone else's brand.
Same crew, same days worked, shifted toward commercial and industrial jobs. Bigger floors spread mobilisation, travel and setup across far more square feet.
Both gaps closed, over twelve months
Type in what they actually pay in the first column. Quantities are monthly. The import column is landed cost with every fee already in it — duty, ocean freight, clearance and bond — and the build-up is editable below.

Duty is set per product by origin, since it varies enormously: roughly 37.5% on Chinese goods, 10 to 12.5% on Vietnam, India and Korea, and about 18% on Thai epoxy once the antidumping rate is counted. Chinese epoxy carries 355% antidumping plus 548% countervailing duty, which is why no epoxy line is sourced there. Freight is set high by default because late-September 2026 rates were running around $8,100 per forty-foot to the West Coast.
