Classification of girls' cotton bathrobe under HS 6108.91
Girls' cotton bathrobes are classified under HS code 6108.91, which resides in Chapter 61. This chapter is dedicated to articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. The classification logic follows a specific hierarchy: first, the construction method (knitted), then the garment type (bathrobes, dressing gowns, or similar articles), and finally the fiber content (cotton). Bathrobes are considered "similar articles" to negligees and dressing gowns under heading 6108, which covers women's or girls' slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligées, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles. The use of cotton as the primary material is a critical factor, as it distinguishes this code from those reserved for man-made fibers or other textiles. For a product to qualify, it must be composed of at least 50% cotton by weight. This classification ensures that the garment is treated as loungewear or intimate apparel rather than outerwear. The knitted nature of the fabric, such as terry knit or jersey, is what places it in Chapter 61 rather than Chapter 62.

Codes often confused with 6108.91
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs between 6108.91 and 6208.91. The difference lies entirely in the fabric construction; 6108.91 is for knitted robes, while 6208.91 is for woven cotton robes. Another error involves 6108.92, which is used for bathrobes made of man-made fibers like polyester fleece. Importers must confirm if the "cotton" robe is actually a cotton-poly blend where polyester predominates.

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).
