HS Code for Men's knit pajamas

HS code 6107.29 covers men's or boys' knitted or crocheted nightshirts and pajamas made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. Classification in this category requires the garment to be specifically designed for wear during sleep. Under the Harmonized System, pajamas consist of two garments—a top and a bottom—while nightshirts are single-piece garments. The material composition is the primary differentiator for this subheading; if the pajamas were made of cotton, they would fall under 6107.21, and if made of man-made fibers (which includes both synthetic fibers like polyester and artificial fibers like rayon), they would fall under 6107.22. Therefore, 6107.29 is primarily used for sleepwear made of silk, wool, or other specialty natural fibers. The garments must be clearly identifiable as sleepwear by their cut, fabric, and lack of features typically found in outdoor or athletic clothing.

Common Misclassification

A frequent misclassification occurs between pajamas and loungewear or tracksuits. Tracksuits are classified under heading 6112, while general loungewear may fall under 6107 or 6109 depending on its construction. If the garment is made of cotton, it must be classified under 6107.21. If it contains any man-made fibers like polyester or viscose, it belongs under 6107.22. Furthermore, woven pajamas are classified in Chapter 62 under heading 6207.29. Distinguishing between sleepwear and casual home wear is essential for correct duty assessment.
