HS Code 4001.10 – Rubber; natural rubber latex, whether or not pre-vulcanised, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip
HS code 4001.10 is the 6-digit subheading for rubber, natural rubber latex, whether or not pre-vulcanised, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip. It is used for concentrated natural rubber latex, pre-vulcanized latex, natural rubber latex in drums, natural rubber latex in bulk containers and latex sheets for dipping.
What HS 4001.10 covers
This HS code covers natural rubber latex, a milky fluid harvested from rubber trees, which can be pre-vulcanized or in its raw primary forms, plates, sheets, or strips. It's a fundamental raw material in various industries, particularly for products requiring elasticity and impermeability. International trade in natural rubber latex is dominated by agricultural economies in tropical regions where rubber trees are cultivated. Major importers are manufacturing hubs that process the latex into finished goods. Key things to know include its liquid form, whether it's concentrated or pre-vulcanized, and its origin, especially given environmental regulations like EUDR. The quality and stability of the latex are critical for its industrial applications, ranging from medical supplies to adhesives.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
