## Key differences

## How to choose
- Is the lubricant used in a medical exam or procedure? → 3006.70
- Is it sold for private sexual use without medical claims? → 3307.90
## Overlaps & pitfalls
Some products may serve both purposes (e.g., a water-based gel used at home and also in clinics). If the product is labeled for medical use, prioritize 3006.70. Otherwise, if marketed solely for sexual activity without clinical claims, use 3307.90. The main function determines the correct classification—do not assume based on ingredients alone
