HS Code for Men's dressing gowns

Men's dressing gowns made of textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers are classified under HS code 6207.99. This classification falls under Chapter 62, which encompasses apparel that is not knitted or crocheted. Heading 6207 covers a variety of men's undergarments and loungewear, including singlets, underpants, briefs, nightshirts, pajamas, bathrobes, and dressing gowns. The specific subheading 6207.99 is a residual category for these items when they are constructed from woven fabrics made of materials such as silk, linen, hemp, or other specialty fibers not covered by the more specific subheadings for cotton (6207.91). The classification is driven by GRI 1, which prioritizes the terms of the headings. For a product to be classified here, it must be a woven garment intended for indoor use as loungewear or after bathing. The distinction between a dressing gown and an overcoat (Chapter 6201) is based on the lightness of the fabric and the intended use; dressing gowns are typically designed for comfort and privacy within a domestic setting rather than protection against the elements. If the garment is made of a blend, the classification is determined by the material that constitutes the greatest weight, per the Section XI notes.

Common Misclassification

A frequent misclassification is 6207.91, which is specifically for cotton dressing gowns. Another common error is 6107.99, which would apply if the dressing gown were knitted or crocheted rather than woven. Importers also occasionally confuse these with 6201 (overcoats) if the fabric is particularly heavy, but the design features—such as a wrap-front and tie-belt without heavy-duty fasteners—usually point back to 6207.
