HS Code for Girls' knit bathrobe

The classification of a girls' knit bathrobe under HS code 6108.99 applies when the garment is knitted or crocheted and made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. Chapter 61 covers all apparel that is knitted or crocheted. Heading 6108 includes slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligées, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles. Subheading 6108.99 is the "other" category, typically capturing luxury items made of knitted silk or wool. The garment must be designed for indoor use, usually worn over nightwear or directly after bathing. If the bathrobe were made of woven fabric, it would move to Chapter 62, specifically heading 6208. The classification is strictly based on the knitting process and the specific fiber content, requiring the absence of cotton or synthetic fibers as the predominant material.

Products Included

• Girls' knitted silk bathrobes
• Knitted wool dressing gowns for girls
• Girls' knitted linen-blend bathrobes (non-synthetic)
• Knitted bamboo fiber bathrobes (if not classified as man-made)

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification is using 6108.91 (cotton) or 6108.92 (man-made fibers) because most bathrobes are made of these materials. Another error is classifying the item under 6208.99, which is for woven bathrobes. Additionally, if the garment is intended for use as an outer garment (like a beach robe), it might be confused with 6114. However, 6108 is the specific heading for bathrobes and dressing gowns. Misidentifying the knit structure as a weave is also a common technical error.
