Classification of women's cotton bathrobe under HS 6108.91
Women's cotton bathrobes are classified under HS code 6108.91. This code is located within Chapter 61, which covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Heading 6108 specifically includes women's or girls' slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles. The subheading 6108.91 is designated for these items when they are made of cotton. The classification depends on two primary factors: the construction of the fabric and the material composition. The garment must be knitted (such as jersey or knitted terry) to remain in Chapter 61. If the garment is woven, it would be classified in Chapter 62. Furthermore, the cotton content must predominate by weight over any other single textile material. This classification ensures that lightweight lounging garments are distinguished from heavy outerwear or specialized athletic apparel.

Codes often confused with 6108.91
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 6208.91, which covers women's cotton bathrobes that are woven rather than knitted. Importers must verify the fabric construction (knit vs. weave) to choose the correct chapter. Another common error is using 6107.91, which is reserved for men's or boys' knitted cotton bathrobes. Finally, if the robe is made of synthetic fibers like polyester, it must be classified under 6108.92 instead of 6108.91.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
