CN code 620791 covers men's or boys' bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar domestic garments of cotton, made from woven fabrics. Heading 6207 of the Combined Nomenclature groups men's underwear, nightshirts, pyjamas, bathrobes and other garments for domestic use. A bathrobe is an outer garment worn at home, typically fastened with a belt or buttons, reaching below the knees. Terry cloth bathrobes made from woven terry (loop pile fabric) are also classified under this code, provided the material is woven. Knitted cotton bathrobes fall under the corresponding codes in Chapter 61. Cotton must be the predominant fibre by weight. Cotton terry bathrobes represent a significant market segment, valued for their moisture absorption capacity after bathing.

Cotton men's bathrobes imported into the EU are subject to the Textile Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 regarding fibre composition labelling. Labels must state the percentage of cotton and any admixtures in the official language of the country of sale. REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 regulates chemical substance content - azo dyes, formaldehyde used in easy-care finishing and nickel in metallic components. Cotton terry bathrobes may undergo softening processes using chemical agents subject to REACH restrictions. The GPSR Regulation (EU) 2023/988 requires importers to ensure product safety, traceability and maintain technical documentation. Bathrobes with belts may require risk assessment regarding belt length in the context of use safety.

The customs declaration for bathrobes under CN code 620791 should precisely specify the product type (bathrobe, dressing gown), material (cotton, cotton terry), intended gender and construction method (woven). Cotton bathrobes are among the most popular products imported from Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan and China. Importers should verify current duty rates and trade measures in TARIC. Preferential duty rates are available under FTA agreements - for example, the EU-Turkey customs union eliminates duties on industrial products. Rules of origin for textile products typically require at least two processing stages in the beneficiary country. Documentation should include an invoice with transaction value and certificate of origin.

CN 6207 91 covers men's bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar home wear of cotton, made from woven fabric. Cotton terry bathrobes are the dominant segment. Classification as a bathrobe requires the garment to be designed for home wear with a characteristic cut (belt, wide sleeves). Labelling under EU 1007/2011 is required at import. Organic cotton bathrobes with GOTS certification may obtain additional eco-labels on the EU market.
