- 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.

Customer Reviews
The section on the structure of HS Codes was really useful. It gave me a better understanding of how the classifications work.
The mention of the April 2025 duty changes was a helpful reminder. I'll make sure to factor that in when planning my shipments.
Some HS Codes had no duty information, which was a bit confusing. Still, the overall content was informative and well-structured.
The article covered multiple HS Codes for different types of bathroom mats. Good to see the distinctions between cotton and plastic materials.
I was looking for rubber bathroom mats and found the HS Code 4016910000 with the 57.7% duty. Great info for my export planning.
