HS Code 4016.10 – Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), moulded rubber mats and mats of non-rectangular shape made by cutting from the piece, of cellular rubber
HS code 4016.10 is the 6-digit subheading for rubber, vulcanised (other than hard rubber), moulded rubber mats and mats of non-rectangular shape made by cutting from the piece, of cellular rubber. It is used for anti-fatigue mats, gym mats (cellular rubber), playground safety mats (cellular), automotive floor mats (moulded cellular) and sound insulation mats.
What HS 4016.10 covers
This HS code specifically covers moulded rubber mats and non-rectangular mats cut from cellular (foamed) vulcanised rubber. These products are widely used for anti-fatigue purposes, cushioning, sound insulation, and as protective flooring in various settings, from industrial workplaces to gyms and homes. International trade is driven by demand from construction, automotive, sports, and consumer goods sectors. Major importers include distributors for industrial supplies, retail chains, and specialized flooring companies. Exporters are typically countries with strong rubber processing industries and manufacturing capabilities for foam products. Key considerations for traders include material density, resilience, slip resistance, chemical resistance, and environmental certifications. The EUDR tag is important for products made with natural rubber, necessitating due diligence to ensure the rubber's origin does not contribute to deforestation, which is increasingly scrutinized in global supply chains for consumer and industrial goods.

Codes often confused with 4016.10
Common mistake. This code is distinct from 401691 (floor coverings and mats of non-cellular rubber) because it specifies cellular rubber and includes moulded or non-rectangular shapes. Confusion can arise if the cellular nature or specific shape is overlooked.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
