Duty here is a % of customs value, which this country assesses on FOB value (international freight excluded). The calculator below applies the duty % to goods + freight, so it errs on the high side.
Freight is an input, not a quoted figure: the calculator starts at a placeholder $0.40/kg — replace it with your forwarder's quote.

Same shipment, three Incoterms. The total you end up paying barely moves; what changes is how much sits on the supplier’s invoice and how much lands on you later as freight, duty and tax.
| Incoterm | Supplier invoices you | You still pay | Total landed | Per unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FOBGoods on board at origin port. You arrange and pay freight, insurance, duty, tax and clearance. | $3,250.00 | $1,442.70 | $4,692.70 | $9.39 |
| CIFGoods, freight and insurance to destination port. Duty, tax and clearance are still yours. | $3,647.98 | $1,044.72 | $4,692.70 | $9.39 |
| DDPDelivered to your door, duty and tax paid by the supplier. Nothing left to pay on arrival. | $4,692.70 | $0.00 | $4,692.70 | $9.39 |
Import VAT / GST is usually reclaimable if you are registered — it is a cash-flow cost, not a margin cost.
About this lane
Exercise mats from China carry three layers of duty in October 2026. The column-1 rate for 9506.91.00 is 4.6%. The 2019 Section 301 List 4A still applies at 7.5% (heading 9903.88.15). And since 24 July 2026 the China country duty adds another 12.5% (heading 9903.05.31); note 52 says it stacks with the other chapter 99 duties.
That is 24.6% of customs value, roughly $1.60 on a $6.50 mat. The 10% IEEPA duty that applied in 2025 is gone after the Supreme Court ruling. Some Section 301 product exclusions run until 9 November 2026, but yoga mats were not checked against them, so treat 24.6% as the planning rate unless your broker confirms an exclusion.
The same mat costs 2% to bring into the UK and 0% into Australia under ChAFTA. The yoga mat lanes for both are linked above.
FAQ
What is the total US tariff on yoga mats from China?
24.6% of customs value: 4.6% MFN (HTSUS 9506.91.00) + 7.5% Section 301 List 4A (9903.88.15) + 12.5% China country duty (9903.05.31), checked 2026-10-01.
Does 9506.91 fit every kind of mat?
CBP generally treats exercise and yoga mats as gymnasium equipment in 9506.91. Unusual materials, or mats sold as rugs, can classify elsewhere, so get a binding ruling for anything unusual.
Is the 10% IEEPA tariff on China still collected?
No. The Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs on 20 February 2026 and CBP stopped collecting them. The 12.5% in the stack is the separate Section 301 country duty.
How does volumetric weight (CBM) affect landed cost for Chinese Yoga Mat Import Calculator (USA)?
Volumetric weight converts box dimensions (L × W × H in cm) ÷ 5,000 into chargeable kilograms. Ocean LCL and air freight bill on whichever is higher between actual gross weight and volumetric weight, so low-density bulky goods inflate landed cost even when light.
How is landed cost and recommended retail margin calculated?
Landed cost = (FOB unit cost × MOQ) + chargeable freight + (FOB + freight) × duty rate. Retail price for an X% margin = landed cost ÷ (1 − X/100). At 45% margin, every $1 of landed cost requires $1.82 of retail price.
What is the standard volumetric divisor and when does it change?
Default is 5,000 cm³/kg, used for general air freight consolidation and ocean LCL. Some express airlines use 6,000; domestic couriers use 4,000–5,000. If your forwarder applies a different divisor, manually adjust the chargeable weight.
What's the difference between Incoterms FOB, CIF, and DDP?
FOB (Free On Board): the seller delivers to the origin port; the buyer pays freight and insurance. CIF (Cost Insurance Freight): the seller covers freight and insurance to the destination port, but you handle customs clearance and last-mile. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): the seller delivers to your door with all duties paid — most expensive but simplest.
Which payment method is safest for a first international B2B order?
Small orders (under $10K): T/T 30% deposit + 70% against B/L copy. Medium ($10–50K): L/C (letter of credit) with the bank as escrow. Large (over $50K): escrow via Alibaba Trade Assurance or pre-shipment inspection (PSI). Never pay 100% upfront on a first transaction.
