6208.99.80.10 - Bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles (850) 🖩

This HTS category, 6208.99.80.10, specifically classifies women's or girls' bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles that are not knitted or crocheted and are made from textile materials other than those covered by preceding subheadings. This encompasses a broad range of comfortable loungewear and post-bathing garments designed for personal wear at home. The key differentiator for this classification lies in the material composition and the absence of knit construction, placing it within the "other textile materials" grouping.

At this level, the primary distinction is between this category and its sibling, 6208.99.80.20, which also falls under "Other" and "Of other textile materials." While the sibling also represents "Other" articles within this broader grouping, the specific numbering (ending in .10 vs. .20) typically signifies subtle variations in material, construction detail, or intended use that have been established by customs rulings or specific tariff provisions. For items to fall under .10, they must meet all criteria of the parent headings while not being specifically enumerated in the .20 category.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for classification within 6208.99.80.10 is on the precise definition of "bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles" and ensuring they are indeed made of textile materials that are not knitted or crocheted, and not specifically covered elsewhere in Chapter 62.
