HS Code for Men's synthetic pajamas

The classification of men's synthetic pajamas under HS code 6107.22 is governed by the specific definitions of nightwear within Chapter 61. This chapter encompasses all apparel that is knitted or crocheted. Heading 6107 is dedicated to men's or boys' underpants, briefs, nightshirts, pajamas, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles. To qualify for 6107.22, the garment must be made of man-made fibers, which includes both synthetic and artificial fibers, though synthetic variants like polyester are the most common. The classification relies on the garment being clearly identifiable as nightwear by its cut, fabric, and general appearance. Under the Harmonized System, pajamas are defined as sets of two garments (a top and a bottom) designed for sleeping. If the item is a single long garment, it is classified as a nightshirt under the same subheading.

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 6207.22, which covers men's pajamas that are woven rather than knitted. Importers often fail to distinguish the fabric construction, leading to customs delays. Another error involves 6108.22, which is reserved for women's or girls' nightwear. Furthermore, if a knitted synthetic top is sold separately and does not have the clear characteristics of a pajama top, it might be misclassified as a T-shirt under 6109.10 or 6109.90. Loungewear that is not clearly intended for sleeping may also be pushed into general trousers (6103.43) or shirts (6105.20).
