HS Code 62.07 – Singlets and other vests, underpants, briefs, night-shirts, pyjamas, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles; men's or boys' (not knitted or crocheted)

HS code 6207 is a 4-digit heading in the Harmonized System that covers: Singlets and other vests, underpants, briefs, night-shirts, pyjamas, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles; men's or boys' (not knitted or crocheted). Heading 6207 of the Harmonized System (HS) encompasses a specific range of men's or boys' garments that are *not* knitted or crocheted. This includes essential innerwear and loungewear such as singlets and other vests, underpants, briefs, night-shirts, pyjamas, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles. The scope is strictly defined by the gender (men's or boys') and the manufacturing method (woven or non-knitted/crocheted). This classification is crucial for distinguishing these items from their knitted counterparts found in Chapter 61 (specifically 6107) and from women's or girls' garments (6208) or babies' garments (6209). Key sub-categories within this heading include various styles of woven boxers, briefs, boxer briefs, woven undershirts, pajama sets, nightshirts, and robes. The term 'similar articles' allows for the inclusion of other non-knitted garments performing similar functions, such as woven lounge shorts or thermal underwear bottoms designed for sleep or lounging. Proper classification under 6207 is vital for trade compliance, impacting applicable tariffs, quotas, preferential trade agreement eligibility, and rules of origin. Historically, the trade in these staple apparel items reflects global consumer demand and manufacturing shifts, with developing economies often serving as major production hubs. This heading fits within Chapter 62, which broadly covers 'Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted,' by specifically addressing the men's and boys' innerwear and loungewear segment within this non-knitted scope.

Common misclassification errors for goods under HS 6207 primarily involve confusing woven garments with their knitted or crocheted counterparts. For instance, knitted men's briefs or pajama sets should be classified under 6107, not 6207. Another frequent mistake is classifying women's or girls' garments (e.g., women's woven bathrobes) here instead of 6208, or babies' garments (e.g., baby woven sleepsuits) instead of 6209. The distinction lies in the manufacturing method (knitted vs. woven), gender, and age, which are critical for accurate tariff and compliance applications.

In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 6207 in UN Comtrade data were China ($312M, 23% of world exports), Bangladesh (about $137M) and Pakistan ($127M). World exports came to about $1.4B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Vietnam did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 0.9% of its exports here ($1.0M, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top exporters.

In 2025, the top importers of HS code 6207 in UN Comtrade data were the United States ($234M, 17% of world imports), Japan ($109M) and Germany ($96M). World imports came to about $1.4B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

HS code 6207 is a 4-digit heading under Chapter 62 of the Harmonized System. The first 2 digits (62) identify the chapter, and digits 3-4 (07) specify the heading. This code contains multiple 6-digit subheadings for precise product classification.
