Classification of women's cotton bathrobes under HS 6208.91
Women's cotton bathrobes are classified under HS code 6208.91. This code falls within heading 6208, which covers women's or girls' singlets and other vests, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles. The classification is restricted to garments that are not knitted or crocheted (woven). The subheading 6208.91 specifically identifies cotton as the primary material. Bathrobes and dressing gowns are distinguished by their loose-fitting nature and their intended use within the home, typically after bathing or as loungewear. The classification follows GRI 1, as the product name is explicitly mentioned in the heading text. Because these items are woven, they are placed in Chapter 62 rather than Chapter 61, which is reserved for knitted goods.

Codes often confused with 6208.91
Common mistake. A common mistake is classifying these items under 6108.91, which is the code for knitted cotton bathrobes. The physical structure of the fabric (woven vs. knitted) is the deciding factor between Chapter 61 and 62. Another misclassification occurs with 6207.91, which is the equivalent code for men's or boys' cotton bathrobes. Importers must also distinguish between bathrobes and coats; while both may be long, a bathrobe (6208) is considered an indoor garment/underwear-adjacent, whereas a coat (6202) is outdoor apparel. Finally, if the robe is made of synthetic fibers, it should be under 6208.92.

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).
