Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is marketed as a towel rather than a robe
Toilet and kitchen linen of terry towelling or similar woven terry fabrics of cotton fall under heading 63.02, which may apply if the robe is essentially a towel with a belt.
If the robe is designed for beach or spa use
Heading 62.11 includes garments for sports or travel, which could cover a towel robe if it is not a typical bathrobe.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the robe is made of woven cotton and not knitted, as heading 62.08 applies to non-knitted articles
• The peshtemal weave should be described on the invoice to support classification as a robe
• If the product is more towel-like than garment-like, consider whether heading 63.02 might apply
