Classification of women's bathrobes under HS 6208.99
Women's bathrobes made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers are classified under HS code 6208.99. This code serves as a residual category for woven garments intended for private, indoor use, such as dressing gowns, negligees, and bathrobes. The classification is determined by three main criteria: the gender of the wearer (women or girls), the construction method (woven, not knitted), and the material composition. Specifically, 6208.99 is used when the primary material is a natural fiber like silk, linen, wool, or hemp. Under the Harmonized System, heading 6208 covers various types of women's underpants, nightdresses, and similar articles. While cotton and synthetic fibers have their own dedicated subheadings (6208.91 and 6208.92 respectively), 6208.99 captures luxury or specialty items. The garment must be designed for use in the home or for bathing to qualify under this heading, distinguishing it from outdoor coats or formal evening wear.

Codes often confused with 6208.99
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification involves HS codes 6208.91 (cotton) and 6208.92 (man-made fibers). Importers often use these codes for silk or linen blends without performing a proper fiber weight analysis. If a garment is a blend, the material that predominates by weight determines the classification. Another error is classifying these under 6108, which is reserved for knitted or crocheted articles. Woven bathrobes must remain in Chapter 62.

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).
