Last updated: April 2026 dataSinglets (undershirts), bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar woven articles for men and boys form a residual grouping within woven men's apparel, capturing garments that do not fit the more specific underpants or sleepwear categories. Classification here hinges on both the garment's function and its fabric construction—a terry-cloth bathrobe, for example, must be confirmed as woven rather than knitted to remain in this heading. Fiber composition further subdivides the category at the HTS 10-digit level, making accurate mill documentation essential for correct duty assessment.

Terry cloth is typically a woven fabric (pile woven), so terry bathrobes generally fall under the woven apparel headings rather than knit. However, some terry products use a knit base; importers should obtain fabric construction certification from the manufacturer to confirm the correct classification.
CBP looks at the garment's primary use and design: bathrobes and dressing gowns are intended for wear at home before or after bathing, not as outerwear. Garments that could serve as outerwear—such as a robe-style coat—may be reclassified into an outerwear heading, so design intent and marketing materials can be relevant evidence.
