HS Code for Men's cotton bathrobe

Men's cotton bathrobes that are knitted or crocheted are classified under HS code 6107.91. Chapter 61 of the Harmonized System is specifically for apparel and clothing accessories that are constructed through knitting or crocheting. Heading 6107 covers a range of men's intimate and lounge apparel, including underpants, pajamas, and bathrobes. The subheading 6107.91 is specifically allocated to articles made of cotton. This classification is determined by two primary factors: the construction of the fabric (knitted) and the fiber content (cotton). Even if the bathrobe has a "terry" texture, if that texture is achieved through a knitting process rather than a weaving process, it remains in Chapter 61. This code is essential for ensuring correct duty application, as textile trade agreements often have specific rules of origin for cotton-based knitted goods.

Common Misclassification

The most frequent error is misclassifying the item under HS code 6207.91. While the heading number is similar, Chapter 62 is for woven garments. Many high-quality cotton bathrobes are woven (toweling fabric), which requires the 6207 code. Another common mistake is using 6108.91, which is the equivalent code for women's or girls' bathrobes. Gender-specific headings are strictly enforced in the HS system, and garments must be classified according to their intended design and cut.
