Understanding HS Codes:

- Chapter (First 2 digits): Broad category of the product.
- Heading (Next 2 digits): More specific grouping within the chapter.
- Subheading (Next 2 digits): Further refinement of the product.
- Additional Digits: Country-specific for even greater detail.

Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: Crucially, confirm the exact material composition of the bathroom mats. This will dictate the correct HS Code.
- Weight: If the mats are cotton terry, the weight per square meter is vital for determining between 6001.91.00.10 and 6001.91.00.20.
- Construction: How are the mats made? (Knitted, crocheted, woven, rubber, plastic, etc.)
- Intended Use: While "bathroom mat" is descriptive, customs may consider the specific design and marketing to determine the appropriate classification.
- Certifications: Depending on the material and intended market, you may need certifications (e.g., OEKO-TEX for textiles, REACH for plastics).
- April 2, 2025 Duty Changes: Be aware of the upcoming duty increases on April 2, 2025.
- Consult a Customs Broker: I strongly recommend consulting with a licensed customs broker in your destination country. They can provide definitive HS Code classification and ensure compliance with all import regulations.
