HS Code for Men's knit bathrobe

Men's knit bathrobes are classified under HS code 6107.99 based on their construction method and fiber composition. Chapter 61 of the Harmonized System is dedicated to articles of apparel that are knitted or crocheted. Within this chapter, heading 6107 covers various types of men's undergarments and loungewear, including bathrobes and dressing gowns. The subheading 6107.99 is a residual category for items made from "other textile materials," which excludes cotton (6107.91). This often applies to high-end loungewear made from silk, linen, or specialized wool blends that have been knitted. The garment must be identifiable as a bathrobe or dressing gown, typically characterized by a loose fit, a wrap-around front, and often a waist tie or belt. It is essential to distinguish these from similar woven garments, which are classified in Chapter 62, and from "pajamas," which have their own specific subheadings within 6107. The classification depends heavily on the knit structure, which provides stretch and a different hand-feel compared to woven fabrics.

Common Misclassification

The most common error is confusing 6107.99 with 6107.91, which is specifically for cotton bathrobes. Another frequent mistake is classifying woven bathrobes under this code; woven versions belong in 6207.99. Additionally, if the garment is intended as outdoor wear, such as a long cardigan, it may be misclassified under heading 6110.
