Classification of rubber floor mats under HS 4016.91
Rubber floor mats and floor coverings are classified under HS code 4016.91. This code is designated for floor coverings and mats of vulcanized rubber (other than hard rubber) that are non-cellular in nature. The classification process involves analyzing the material to ensure it meets the definition of vulcanized rubber as per Chapter 40 Note 1, which includes natural rubber, balata, gutta-percha, and similar natural gums, as well as synthetic rubber. Heading 4016 is used for articles that are not elsewhere specified in the chapter. Subheading 4016.91 specifically addresses products used for covering floors, which may be in the form of tiles, sheets, or individual mats. These items are typically designed for durability, slip resistance, and protection of the underlying surface. The distinction between cellular (foam) rubber and non-cellular rubber is critical, as cellular rubber products are often classified under 4016.10 or other specific subheadings depending on their form and function.

Codes often confused with 4016.91
Common mistake. Rubber floor mats are frequently confused with textile-based mats classified under Chapter 57. For example, a mat with a rubber backing but a textile surface is often classified under 5705.00 as an 'other' carpet or floor covering, depending on which material gives the product its essential character. Furthermore, mats made of plastics like PVC or EVA foam are classified under 3918.10 or 3918.90. It is also important to distinguish these from rubber sheets in the length, which might fall under 4008 if they have not been cut to a specific shape other than rectangular.

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).
