Product classification
HS code for Anti-fatigue mats: 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.
Classification of anti-fatigue mats under HS 4016.10
Anti-fatigue mats made of vulcanized cellular rubber are classified under HS code 4016.10. These products are designed to provide cushioning for individuals standing for extended periods, reducing strain on the legs and back. The classification is determined by the material composition—specifically cellular rubber—and the manufacturing process of vulcanization. Heading 4016 covers other articles of vulcanized rubber (excluding hard rubber), and subheading 4016.10 specifically addresses the cellular variety. If the mat is molded or cut into a non-rectangular shape, it remains within this classification. The ergonomic function of the mat does not change its classification based on material, which is the primary driver for Chapter 40 products. These mats are common in industrial, commercial, and laboratory settings. The \"cellular\" aspect refers to the internal structure of the rubber, which contains open or closed cells that provide the necessary compression and rebound for anti-fatigue properties.

Codes often confused with 4016.10
Common mistake. Anti-fatigue mats are frequently misclassified under 4016.91, which is for floor coverings and mats of non-cellular vulcanized rubber. The presence of a cellular (foam-like) structure is the deciding factor for 4016.10. They are also often confused with 3918.10 or 3918.90 if they are made of plastics like PVC or EVA. Furthermore, if the mat has a textile surface, it may be classified under Chapter 57 as a carpet or floor covering.
Top exporters and importers of HS 401610 (the code used for anti-fatigue mats), 2025

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).
