HS Code for Girls' synthetic pajamas

Girls' synthetic pajamas are classified under HS code 6108.32 because they are knitted or crocheted garments specifically designed for nightwear. According to the Harmonized System's General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), classification is determined by the manufacturing method and the material composition. Chapter 61 covers apparel that is knitted or crocheted, distinguishing it from the woven garments in Chapter 62. The subheading 6108.32 specifically targets nightdresses and pajamas for women or girls made of man-made fibers. Man-made fibers include synthetic polymers like polyester, nylon, and spandex, as well as artificial fibers like rayon or viscose. To qualify for this code, the garment must exhibit the interlocking loop structure characteristic of knitting, which provides the necessary stretch and comfort for sleepwear. Furthermore, the garment's design must clearly indicate its use as nightwear, often featuring loose cuts, elasticated waistbands, and soft-textured synthetic yarns.

Common Misclassification

A frequent error is classifying these items under HS code 6208.22, which is reserved for woven synthetic pajamas. The primary distinction is the fabric construction; woven items lack the stretch of knitted goods. Another common misclassification is 6108.31, which applies to knitted pajamas made of cotton. If the garment is a blend, it must be classified based on the material that predominates by weight. Additionally, robes and dressing gowns are often incorrectly placed here but should be classified under 6108.92.
