6208.91.10 - Bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles

This HTS classification, 6208.91.10, specifically covers "Bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles" made of cotton, that are not knitted or crocheted. These garments are typically designed for wear in the home, often after bathing or as loungewear, and are characterized by their loose fit and absorbent qualities, particularly when made of cotton. The scope includes items like kimonos, caftans, and other similar outer garments worn for comfort and relaxation within the home environment.

This specific code is distinguished from its sibling category, 6208.91.30 (Other), by its explicit focus on bathrobes, dressing gowns, and directly comparable items. While 6208.91.30 would encompass other types of cotton apparel within the broader "Other" designation of 6208.91, this subheading narrows the focus to garments with the primary function of being worn after bathing or as comfortable indoor attire.

The subcategories within 6208.91.10 further differentiate these cotton garments based on the intended wearer. Subheading 6208.91.10.10 is for women's bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles, while 6208.91.10.20 is designated for girls'. This distinction is crucial for accurate customs reporting, as it allows for specific statistical tracking and potential tariff treatments based on gender and age group.
