HS Code for Boys' pyjamas

HS code 6207.29 covers boys' nightshirts and pyjamas that are woven and made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. This classification is highly specific regarding both the function of the garment and its material composition. Pyjamas are defined as sets of garments consisting of a top and trousers/shorts intended for sleeping. To fall under 6207.29, the garments must be made of fibers such as silk, linen, or hemp. The exclusion of cotton (6207.21) and man-made fibers (6207.22) is the primary filter for this code. Additionally, the garments must be woven; if they are knitted (a common construction for modern sleepwear), they must be classified under Chapter 61 (specifically 6107). The classification process involves verifying the fiber content through laboratory testing or detailed manufacturer specifications to ensure no cotton or synthetic blends exceed the thresholds that would trigger a different classification. This code is typically used for luxury or specialty sleepwear for boys.

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification is with HS code 6207.21 (cotton pyjamas) or 6207.22 (synthetic/man-made fiber pyjamas), as these materials dominate the market. Importers also often confuse woven pyjamas with knitted ones (HS code 6107.29). Furthermore, if the garment is styled as 'loungewear' but not specifically for sleeping, customs may attempt to classify it as a set or ensemble under 6203, which carries different duty implications.
