HS Code for Girls' synthetic briefs
HS code 6108.22 is specifically applied to briefs and panties for women or girls that are made of man-made fibers and are knitted or crocheted. This classification is part of the broader heading 6108, which covers a range of intimate apparel including slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, and pajamas. The requirement for the fabric to be knitted (Chapter 61) is standard for undergarments, as the knitting process provides the necessary stretch and comfort for close-fitting apparel. Man-made fibers, including synthetic polymers like polyester and nylon, are frequently used in these items for their durability, moisture-wicking properties, and ease of care. When classifying these products, customs authorities look at the size and cut to confirm they are intended for women or girls. If the items were made of cotton, they would fall under 6108.21, and if they were woven, they would be classified under 6208.22. The General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) require that the most specific description be used; therefore, 6108.22 is used over more general apparel codes. It is also important to note that if these items are packaged as part of a set, they may still need to be classified individually depending on the specific rules for sets in the importing country's tariff schedule.
