Classification of women's synthetic bathrobe under HS 6108.92
HS code 6108.92 applies to women's or girls' bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles that are knitted or crocheted and made from man-made fibers. This classification is part of Chapter 61, which covers knitted apparel. Man-made fibers include both synthetic polymers (like polyester and nylon) and regenerated fibers (like rayon or viscose). These garments are designed for comfort and are typically worn over sleepwear or directly on the body within a domestic setting. The term "similar articles" includes items like negligees, housecoats, and light robes. The classification is strictly dependent on the knitting process; if the garment were woven, it would be classified under 6208.92. Furthermore, the material must be man-made; cotton bathrobes fall under 6108.91. Accurate classification requires a laboratory analysis of the fiber content if the label is unclear, as the duty rates can vary significantly between different fiber types. The Explanatory Notes for Heading 6108 clarify that these articles are generally worn next to the skin or over other undergarments. They are distinguished from outdoor coats by their cut, the nature of the fabric, and their general appearance. Importers should also be aware that if a bathrobe is sold as part of a set with pajamas, it may be classified differently depending on the rules for sets (GRI 3b). However, as a standalone item, 6108.92 is the correct designation for knitted synthetic robes.

Common mistake. The most common error is misclassifying these under 6208.92, which is for woven bathrobes. Another common mistake is using 6108.91 if the garment is actually made of cotton. Additionally, some heavy fleece robes are sometimes incorrectly classified as coats under 6102, but their design for indoor use keeps them in 6108.

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).
