HS Code 4016.91 – Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), floor coverings and mats, of non-cellular rubber
HS code 4016.91 is the 6-digit subheading for rubber, vulcanised (other than hard rubber), floor coverings and mats, of non-cellular rubber. It is used for rubber flooring rolls, interlocking rubber tiles, entrance mats (solid rubber), industrial rubber matting and anti-slip floor coverings.
What HS 4016.91 covers
This HS code covers vulcanised rubber floor coverings and mats made from non-cellular (solid) rubber. These products are highly valued for their durability, slip resistance, and protective qualities, finding extensive use in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, public transport, and residential areas. International trade is driven by construction projects, facility maintenance, and safety regulations across various sectors. Major importers include construction companies, flooring distributors, retail chains, and public infrastructure projects. Exporters are typically countries with robust rubber manufacturing industries, capable of producing large sheets and rolls of solid rubber. Key considerations for traders include wear resistance, chemical resistance, fire ratings, ease of installation, and environmental impact. The EUDR tag is relevant for products containing natural rubber, requiring careful supply chain management to ensure the rubber is sourced sustainably and does not contribute to deforestation, a growing concern for environmentally conscious buyers and regulations.

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).
