U.S. Customs Rules that I4F Can Import 3L Triplelock & Click4U

Willemstad, Curacao, January 13, 2017—Innovations4Flooring (I4F) has announced that the U.S. Customs & Border Protection Agency has ruled that products manufactured under I4F’s licenses, and including the 3L Triplelock and Click4U locking mechanisms, may be imported into the United States of America.

The ruling stipulates that I4F’s 3L TripleLock and Click4U technologies are not subject to any of Unilin’s current International Trade Commission (ITC) General Exclusion Orders (GEO).

With immediate effect, this ruling frees I4F producers and importers from all obligations linked to Unilin’s 2006 GEO for certain laminate flooring (Investigation No. 337-TA-545) requiring all goods to feature a holographic label from Unilin or Välinge in order to enter the U.S. market.

I4F licensees will receive details on the process and tools required to enable them to align with this U.S. Customs ruling and to import their goods using I4F technologies into the U.S.
