HS Code for Boys' cotton pajamas

Boys' cotton pajamas that are knitted or crocheted are classified under HS code 6107.21. This classification follows the structure of Chapter 61, which governs knitted apparel. Heading 6107 is dedicated to men's or boys' underpants, briefs, nightshirts, pyjamas, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles. The specific subheading 6107.21 is reserved for nightshirts and pyjamas made of cotton. Pyjamas are defined in the Explanatory Notes as garments consisting of two pieces—a top and a bottom—designed specifically for sleeping. For a product to be classified here, the knit construction must be evident, typically providing the breathability and stretch desired for sleepwear. The "cotton" designation applies if cotton is the predominant textile material by weight. If the garment is a one-piece sleepsuit for an infant (height not exceeding 86 cm), it would be moved to heading 6111. The distinction between sleepwear and casual lounge wear is also critical; garments classified under 6107.21 must be clearly identifiable as nightwear by their cut, fabric, and lack of features common in outdoor clothing, such as heavy zippers or reinforced pockets. This ensures that the specific trade regulations for sleepwear, including flammability standards in some regions, are correctly associated with the product.

Common Misclassification

A frequent error is classifying woven pajamas under this code; woven cotton pajamas belong in 6207.21. Additionally, 6108.31 is often confused with this code, but 6108.31 is strictly for women's or girls' cotton knit pajamas. If the garment is a "onesie" or union suit that is not clearly for sleeping, it might be classified as trousers/overalls under 6103.42.
