HS Code for Boys' cotton pyjamas

Boys' cotton pyjamas made from woven fabrics are classified under HS code 6207.21. Unlike their knitted counterparts, these garments are found in Chapter 62, which covers apparel that is not knitted or crocheted. Heading 6207 includes men's or boys' singlets and other vests, underpants, briefs, nightshirts, pyjamas, bathrobes, and similar articles. Subheading 6207.21 specifically targets nightshirts and pyjamas of cotton. Woven sleepwear often includes materials like flannel, poplin, or broadcloth, which are created by interlacing threads rather than looping them. The classification requires the garment to be clearly identifiable as sleepwear; if the components could easily be mistaken for casual daywear, such as a standard woven shirt and trousers, the classification might be challenged. However, the styling, loose cut, and fabric weight usually distinguish these as pyjamas. Accurate classification ensures compliance with trade regulations and the application of correct duty rates, which can vary significantly between woven and knitted goods. For the purposes of this code, the garment must be designed for boys; if the size is for infants (86 cm or less), it falls under 6209.20. The material must be predominantly cotton by weight to satisfy the 6207.21 requirement.

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification is with 6107.21, which is the code for knitted cotton pyjamas. Importers must also avoid 6208.21, which is reserved for women's or girls' woven cotton pyjamas. Furthermore, if the set includes a robe, the robe must be classified separately under 6207.91, as heading 6207.21 is specific to nightshirts and pyjamas.
