HS Code for Boys' cotton bathrobe
The classification for a boys' cotton bathrobe that is knitted or crocheted is HS code 6107.91. This code is situated within Chapter 61, which is dedicated to apparel and clothing accessories that are constructed through knitting or crocheting. The classification process follows the hierarchical structure of the Harmonized System: first identifying the garment as an item of underclothing or loungewear for men or boys (heading 6107), then specifying the article type (bathrobes or dressing gowns), and finally identifying the material (cotton). For a product to qualify under 6107.91, cotton must be the predominant textile material by weight. The knitted construction is a critical identifier; this includes jersey knits, rib knits, and terry-knitted fabrics commonly used in absorbent bathrobes. This code ensures that the item is distinguished from woven bathrobes, which are classified in a different chapter entirely, and from garments intended for women or girls.

Common Misclassification
The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 6207.91, which covers bathrobes that are woven rather than knitted. While the material (cotton) and the user (boys) are the same, the fabric construction method changes the chapter. Another frequent error is using 6108.91, which is the code for women's or girls' cotton knitted bathrobes. Customs authorities look closely at the cut, styling, and commercial intent to distinguish between 6107 and 6108. Additionally, if the bathrobe is made of synthetic fibers like polyester fleece (knitted), it should be classified under 6107.99 rather than 6107.91.
