HS Code for Boys' knit pajamas
Boys' knit pajamas are classified under HS code 6107.29 when they are constructed using knitting or crocheting techniques and are made from textile materials excluding cotton and man-made fibers. The Harmonized System distinguishes nightwear based on both the gender of the intended wearer and the material used. For boys, nightshirts and pajamas fall under heading 6107. The subheading 6107.29 is specifically for those items made of "other" materials, such as silk, linen, or hemp. To qualify as pajamas, the set must consist of two garments: a lightweight top and a pair of trousers or shorts, specifically designed for sleeping. The knit construction provides the stretch and comfort required for sleepwear, which is a primary characteristic of items in Chapter 61. If the pajamas were made of woven fabric, they would be moved to Chapter 62. Accurate classification requires a clear understanding of the fiber composition, as the presence of even a small percentage of man-made fibers could shift the classification to 6107.22.

Common Misclassification
The most common misclassification occurs with 6107.21 (cotton pajamas) and 6107.22 (man-made fiber pajamas). Because many modern fabrics are blends, the predominant fiber by weight determines the code. Another error is confusing pajamas with tracksuits (6112) or lounge sets (6103). Pajamas must be clearly identifiable as nightwear by their cut, fabric lightness, and lack of features like heavy zippers or pockets that are characteristic of outdoor wear.
