Import Duty on Yoga Mats
US general (MFN) import duty rates for Yoga Mats range from 2.8%–5.6% across 4 HTS lines (e.g. HTS 9506.91.00 at 4.6%), per USITC HTS release 2026HTSRev22. This is a planning estimate: Section 301, Section 232, AD/CVD, quotas and MPF/HMF are excluded and must be added separately.
A yoga mat is classified by what it is for, not what it is made of. That single choice moves the rate between 2.8% and 5.6%.

What changes by country of origin
The MFN rate is the same regardless of where the goods are made. Everything below it is not.
| Origin | Base rate | US preference | What else attaches |
|---|---|---|---|
| China | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | Section 301 lists 1-4A apply to most consumer goods on top of MFN; the 2026 forced-labor 301 action adds a further layer. |
| Vietnam | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty. The 2026 forced-labor 301 action applies. No US FTA, so MFN is the base. |
| India | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty and no US FTA. Forced-labor 301 applies. GSP expired, so MFN is the base. |
| Thailand | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty and no US FTA. Forced-labor 301 applies. |
| Indonesia | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty and no US FTA. Forced-labor 301 applies. |
| Mexico | MFN rate above | No USMCA line on these codes | USMCA: duty-free when the goods meet the rules of origin and the preference is claimed. MFN applies otherwise. |
Free-trade programs named on the lines in this group: Australia (AUSFTA) (4 lines), Bahrain (BHFTA) (4 lines), Chile (CLFTA) (4 lines), Colombia (CTPA) (4 lines), Agoa (4 lines), Caribbean Basin (4 lines). A preference only applies when the goods meet that program's rules of origin and the claim is made on entry. This page does not estimate Section 301 list rates or anti-dumping duty; enter the applicable Section 301 rate in the calculator yourself and verify current list coverage and exclusions at the USTR exclusion notices.
What decides the rate
A PVC or TPE mat sold for exercise lands in 9506.91 at 4.6%. Classify the same mat as a textile floor covering and it moves to Chapter 57; classify it as plastic sheeting and it moves to Chapter 39. The exercise-use description is what holds it in 9506.
Where this goes wrong
Mats sold with straps, bags or blocks are usually still one article under 9506.91. A mat sold as a kit with unrelated accessories can be split into separate lines.

Questions this page answers
What HTS code do yoga mats use?
Exercise and yoga mats of synthetic material are classified in 9506.91, which carries a 4.6% general rate. The classification rests on the article being for physical exercise, not on the foam or PVC it is made from.
Is a yoga mat free of duty?
No. Only specific temporary provisions in Chapter 99 have applied free treatment to particular mats, and those provisions have expiry dates. The permanent schedule line, 9506.91.00, is 4.6%.
Does this estimate include anti-dumping duty?
No. Anti-dumping and countervailing duty are case-specific and can exceed every other layer combined, so they are outside the estimate by design. The calculator covers base duty, the Section 301 and 232 layers you enter, the merchandise processing fee and the harbor maintenance fee.
