Classification of men's cotton pajamas under HS 6107.21
Classification 6107.21 applies to men's or boys' nightshirts and pajamas made of cotton, knitted or crocheted. Pajamas are defined as sets of garments consisting of two pieces: a lightweight garment for the upper body and a pair of trousers or shorts for the lower body, intended specifically for sleeping. The fabric must be knitted, providing the comfort and stretch associated with sleepwear. It is essential that these garments are clearly identifiable as nightwear by their cut, fabric, or presence of features like a fly-less front or specific patterns. If a garment is versatile enough to be worn as general loungewear or sportswear, it may be excluded from this heading and classified under 6103 or 6109 depending on its specific characteristics. The cotton content must be at least 50% by weight to qualify for the 6107.21 subheading. This classification is distinct from woven pajamas, which fall under 6207.21. The distinction is important for customs valuation and the application of trade remedies. Additionally, nightshirts, which are long one-piece garments for sleeping, are also included here. It is important to note that garments that are primarily intended for use as "tracksuits" or "jogging suits" are excluded from this heading, even if they are sometimes worn for sleeping. The primary intent and commercial presentation of the product play a significant role in determining the correct HS code.

Codes often confused with 6107.21
Common mistake. Pajamas are often misclassified under 6103.22 (ensembles) if they are marketed as loungewear. They are also confused with 6207.21, which is for woven cotton pajamas. If a pajama top is sold individually and resembles a T-shirt, it might be incorrectly classified under 6109.10.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
