Product classification
HS code for Condoms: 4014.10
Rubber, vulcanised (other than hard rubber), sheath contraceptives.
Classification of condoms under HS 4014.10
Condoms are classified under HS code 4014.10. This classification is situated in Chapter 40, which covers rubber and articles thereof. Heading 4014 is designated for hygienic or pharmaceutical articles (including teats), of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber, with or without fittings of hard rubber. Subheading 4014.10 specifically identifies sheath contraceptives. The classification is determined by the material—vulcanized rubber—and the specific intended use as a contraceptive and prophylactic device. While most condoms are made from natural rubber latex, synthetic rubber versions like polyisoprene are also classified here because they share the same chemical and physical properties as vulcanized rubber. The HS system prioritizes the material composition and the specialized hygienic function over general plastic classifications. This code is used globally to ensure that these medical and hygienic devices are tracked for both trade and health safety regulations. Even if the condoms are lubricated or contain spermicidal agents, the primary classification remains 4014.10 as the rubber sheath is the essential component.

Codes often confused with 4014.10
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 3926.90, which covers other articles of plastics. Non-latex condoms made of polyurethane are technically plastic and may be classified under 3926.90 in some jurisdictions, though many customs authorities still group all sheath contraceptives under 4014.10 for statistical consistency. Another error is 9018.90 (medical instruments), but condoms are considered hygienic articles of rubber rather than surgical or medical instruments, placing them firmly in Chapter 40.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
