Classification of men's cotton dressing gowns under HS 6207.91
Men's cotton dressing gowns are classified under HS code 6207.91 when they are constructed from woven fabrics. Chapter 62 of the Harmonized System covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted. This distinction is fundamental in international trade, as tariff rates often vary significantly between knitted and woven garments. Heading 6207 encompasses men's or boys' singlets, underpants, briefs, nightshirts, pyjamas, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles. The subheading 91 is reserved for those made primarily of cotton. Woven cotton fabrics are created by the interlacing of two sets of yarns—the warp and the weft—at right angles. Common examples of woven cotton used for dressing gowns include flannel, terry toweling (if woven), and lightweight poplin or seersucker. To ensure correct classification, the importer must verify the textile construction. If the fabric lacks the looped structure of a knit, it belongs in Chapter 62. Additionally, the garment must be designed for use as indoor loungewear. If a cotton garment is designed for outdoor wear, such as a trench coat or a lightweight duster, it would be classified under heading 6201 or 6202. The "similar articles" mentioned in the heading include items like smoking jackets, provided they are of a type worn in the home. It is also important to note that for the purposes of this heading, the term "cotton" refers to fabrics where cotton predominates by weight over any other single textile material. If the garment is a blend containing 50% cotton and 50% polyester, the classification may change depending on the specific rules for textile blends in Section XI.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
