Classification of women's knit bathrobe under HS 6108.99
The classification of a women's knit bathrobe under HS code 6108.99 is determined by the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), specifically GRI 1 and 6. Heading 6108 encompasses a variety of women's or girls' undergarments and loungewear, including slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligées, bathrobes, and dressing gowns. To fall under this specific subheading, the article must be knitted or crocheted, which places it in Chapter 61 rather than Chapter 62, which is reserved for woven garments. Furthermore, the material composition is the deciding factor for the six-digit subheading. While 6108.91 covers cotton and 6108.92 covers man-made fibers, 6108.99 acts as the residual category for "other textile materials." This includes high-end or specialty fibers such as silk, wool, cashmere, or linen. The construction must be intended for indoor use, typically characterized by a loose fit and often featuring a belt or front opening. The garment must be designed for women or girls; similar items for men are classified under heading 6107. The classification remains 6108.99 even if the garment contains minor decorative elements of other materials, provided the primary knitted fabric is of the "other" textile category.

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).
