6208.99.30.10 - Bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles (750) 🖩

This HTS category, 6208.99.30.10, specifically covers bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles when they are made from textile materials other than cotton, synthetic fibers, or man-made fibers, and importantly, contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. These garments are designed for wear in or around the home, often after bathing or for relaxation. The "similar articles" designation would typically include items like lounging robes or boudoir robes that share the functional and stylistic characteristics of traditional bathrobes and dressing gowns.

Within its immediate level, this category is distinguished from its sibling, 6208.99.30.20, which is designated for "Other." This implies that 6208.99.30.10 is reserved for those specific silk-rich articles, while the sibling category would encompass similar garments made of other textile materials that do not meet the 70% silk threshold or fall outside the specific material definitions of other sub-branches within the "Of other textile materials" group.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the material composition, specifically the high silk content, and the garment's function as a bathrobe, dressing gown, or a closely related item. Importers must carefully verify the weight percentage of silk or silk waste in the garment to ensure correct classification under this specific HTS code.
