Chapter 62 covers garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted, i.e., woven garments. This chapter includes men's, women's and children's overcoats, suits, shirts, underwear, nightwear, bathrobes, etc., but excludes knitted or crocheted garments (Chapter 61) as well as quilted garments, medical garments and other special categories. Within the chapter, headings are subdivided by garment type and gender, e.g., 6207 for men's underwear, nightwear, bathrobes, etc. Heading 6207 specifically covers men's underwear, nightwear, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles, of textile materials other than knitted or crocheted. Under this heading, articles are further subdivided by specific type and material, e.g., 6207.1 for underpants, 6207.2 for nightwear, 6207.9 for other (including bathrobes). A bathrobe usually refers to a loose long gown worn after bathing, with water-absorbent or warmth-retaining properties, but not of knitted type. The first 2 digits '62' represent Chapter 62: garments and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted. The 3rd-4th digits '07' represent heading 6207: men's underwear, nightwear, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles. The 5th-6th digits '99' represent subheading 6207.99: of other textile materials. Here '99' is a residual subheading covering textile materials other than cotton (6207.91) and man-made fibres (6207.92), such as wool, silk, flax or blends. Therefore, 620799 refers to men's bathrobes of other textile materials. The product is a men's bathrobe, not knitted or crocheted, so it is classified under Chapter 62 rather than Chapter 61. Under heading 6207, a bathrobe is a 'similar article', and the material is neither cotton nor man-made fibres, so it is classified under 6207.99. If it were a knitted bathrobe, it would be classified under 6107; if of cotton, under 6207.91; if of man-made fibres, under 6207.92. Therefore, this code is the correct classification.

❓ FAQ
How to determine whether a bathrobe is knitted or woven?
