Classification of girls' knit bathrobe under HS 6108.99
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.

Codes often confused with 6108.99
Common mistake. 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.

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).
