6207.99.70.10 - Bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles (750) 🖩

This HTS subcategory, 6207.99.70.10, specifically classifies bathrobes, dressing gowns, and other similar articles that are not knitted or crocheted and are made from textile materials, with a key compositional requirement: they must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This emphasis on a high silk content is the defining characteristic for goods falling under this heading. These are typically items of apparel designed for comfort and modesty around the home, worn after bathing or for lounging.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While 6207.99.70.20 covers "sleepwear" and 6207.99.70.30 is designated for "other" items within the "of other textile materials" group, this specific subcategory is narrowly defined by its silk composition. Therefore, if an item is a bathrobe, dressing gown, or similar article, but is made primarily of cotton, linen, or synthetic fibers (even if above 70% by weight), it would not fall under this 6207.99.70.10 classification. The silk content is the decisive factor.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, 6207.99.70.10 does not have further subcategories. Classification within this code hinges solely on meeting the criteria of being a bathrobe, dressing gown, or similar article, not knitted or crocheted, and composed of at least 70% silk or silk waste by weight. Examples would include luxurious silk robes and kimonos intended for home wear, distinguishing them from other categories that may cover sleepwear not made with such a high proportion of silk.
