6207 9975 20
Overview
This HTS category, 6207.99.75, specifically classifies bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles that are not knitted or crocheted and are not of cotton, man-made fibers (unless specifically enumerated elsewhere), or vegetable textile materials. The "other textile materials" designation is crucial here, encompassing items made from less common natural fibers or blends not already covered. The primary function of these garments is for wear within the home for comfort or modesty, often after bathing or before retiring for the night.
It's important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6207.99.85, which is also under "Of other textile materials." While both cover similar articles, 6207.99.85 represents a further subdivision, often for items not meeting the specific subcategory criteria outlined below, or for articles that are themselves considered "other" within a broader context. The key differentiator for 6207.99.75 lies in its inclusion of specific material compositions that are not typically found in the broader "other textile materials" grouping, guiding classification towards more specialized fibers.
Within 6207.99.75, further subclassification is determined by the presence of wool or fine animal hair. Subcategory 6207.99.75.10 covers articles containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, indicating a significant wool content. The remaining articles, not meeting this specific wool criterion, fall under the residual subcategory 6207.99.75.20, labeled as "Other." This layered approach ensures precise tariff application based on the specific fiber composition of these non-knitted or non-crocheted garments.
