HS Code for Girls' pyjamas

Classification of girls' pyjamas under HS code 6208.29 is reserved for woven (not knitted) nightwear made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. Chapter 62 of the Harmonized System covers articles of apparel that are not knitted or crocheted. Heading 6208 includes women's or girls' singlets and other vests, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pyjamas, negliges, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles. Within the pyjamas and nightdresses sub-category, the system differentiates by material. While 6208.21 covers cotton and 6208.22 covers man-made fibers, 6208.29 acts as a residual category for luxury or alternative fibers. This includes pyjamas made of silk, linen, wool, or fine animal hair. To be classified here, the garment must be a woven product designed specifically for nightwear. The 'girls' designation applies to garments sized for children, though the HS code technically groups women's and girls' items together. The distinction between nightdresses and pyjamas is generally based on whether the item is a single piece (nightdress) or a set consisting of a top and trousers (pyjamas).

Common Misclassification

The most common error is classifying these under 6108.39, which is for knitted nightwear of other textile materials. Another error is using 6208.21 or 6208.22 if the material is actually a blend where silk or linen predominates by weight. It is also frequently confused with 6204 if the pyjamas look like loungewear or tracksuits.
