6207.99.20.00 - Bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles (459)

This HTS classification, 6207.99.20.00, specifically covers bathrobes, dressing gowns, and other similar articles designed for men or boys. These items are characterized by their loose-fitting, outer garments typically worn for warmth, comfort, or modesty before dressing or after undressing. The key determinant for this specific sub-classification is that these articles are not made from knitted or crocheted fabrics, as indicated by their placement within Chapter 62.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6207.99.40.00, which also falls under "Other" and "Of other textile materials." The primary difference would lie in the specific composition of the textile material. While 6207.99.20.00 is the terminal classification, it is important to note that the broader category from which it branches (i.e., "Of other textile materials") implies a range of non-wool/fine animal hair compositions. Therefore, any bathrobe or dressing gown of other textile materials, not falling into more specific subcategories, would be considered here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level relies on the explicit definition of the garment type (bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles) and the material composition not being of wool or fine animal hair, while also not being knitted or crocheted. Examples of "similar articles" could include formal housecoats or lounge robes not specifically designed as pajamas or nightshirts.
