Yoga Mat - HTS Code 9506.91.00.30

A yoga mat is a portable mat designed to provide a cushioned, non-slip surface for yoga, Pilates, stretching, and floor-based exercise. Common materials include PVC, TPE, EVA, natural rubber, and other synthetic or elastomeric materials. Importers should identify the material, thickness, surface construction, packaging condition, and whether the article is sold primarily as exercise equipment or as a general-purpose floor covering.

AI Classification Reasoning

Current HTS and CBP signals support classifying a typical yoga mat as exercise equipment under HTS 9506.91.00.30. Heading 9506 covers articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, athletics, other sports, and outdoor games. The current HTS Chapter 99 text includes a provision for exercise and yoga mats of synthetic material as articles provided for in subheading 9506.91.00. CBP ruling N357738 also classified a PVC yoga mat under 9506.91.0030. Material composition remains important for describing the product and checking secondary tariff provisions, but for a mat marketed and designed for yoga or exercise, the exercise-equipment character should be evaluated before treating it as an ordinary floor covering.

FAQ

Why is a yoga mat not listed here under HTS 3918?
HTS 3918 can apply to plastic floor coverings, but current HTS and CBP yoga-mat signals point to 9506.91.00 for yoga and exercise mats. Use 3918 only when the product is primarily a general floor covering rather than exercise equipment.
Does PVC, TPE, or EVA material change the HTS code?
Material should always be documented, but a typical yoga or exercise mat of synthetic material is generally evaluated under 9506.91.00.30. Material can still affect secondary tariff provisions, duty programs, and product safety review.
Are there additional duties for yoga mats imported from China?
The base duty should be checked together with current Chapter 99 measures and country-of-origin rules. Current HTS entries for this area include Chapter 99 references, so importers should verify active Section 301/IEEPA exposure before filing.
