HS Code for Men's cotton bathrobes

Men's cotton bathrobes are classified under HS code 6207.91. This code is found within Chapter 62, which covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are woven (not knitted or crocheted). Heading 6207 includes men's or boys' singlets, underpants, nightshirts, pajamas, bathrobes, and dressing gowns. The subheading 6207.91 is specific to these items when they are manufactured from cotton. Cotton bathrobes are typically made from woven fabrics such as terry toweling, waffle weave, or velour. The classification is determined by three main factors: the gender of the user (men's or boys'), the material (cotton), and the construction method (woven). If the garment is made of a blend, it must contain more than 50% cotton by weight to be classified here. These garments are designed for comfort and absorbency, often worn after bathing or as loungewear. The distinction between woven and knitted is paramount; a woven cotton robe has a stable structure with minimal stretch, whereas a knitted cotton robe (often jersey or interlock) would be classified under Chapter 61.

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification is using HS code 6107.91, which is for knitted cotton bathrobes. Another error is using 6207.99, which is for bathrobes made of other textile materials like silk or polyester. Additionally, some importers mistakenly use Heading 6302 (toilet and kitchen linen), but that heading is for flat linens like towels, not for garments with sleeves and belts. Finally, ensure the product is not classified under 6208, which is for women's or girls' bathrobes.
