Nightshirts and pyjamas, men's or boys', of man-made fibres (not knitted or crocheted).
Classification of polyester pyjamas under HS 6207.22
For men's or boys' sleepwear, HS code 6207.22 is the appropriate classification when the items are made of woven man-made fibers like polyester. Heading 6207 covers men's underpants, briefs, nightshirts, and pyjamas. The use of polyester—a synthetic, man-made fiber—leads to the 6207.22 subheading. Like its female counterpart, the essential distinction here is the construction method. Woven polyester pyjamas are characterized by the interlacing of warp and weft yarns, providing a stable, non-stretch structure compared to knitted versions. This classification is governed by the legal notes of Chapter 62, which exclude knitted goods. Importers must ensure the garment is clearly identifiable as sleepwear to avoid being classified as general trousers or shirts. The classification process involves checking the fiber content to ensure man-made fibers predominate and confirming the garment is intended for men or boys. Polyester is frequently used in woven pyjamas to provide a silk-like feel (satin) or for its durability and ease of care. Under the Harmonized System, the distinction between nightshirts and pyjamas (which are sets) is handled within the same subheading 6207.22.

Codes often confused with 6207.22
Common mistake. A common error is using HS code 6107.22, which is for knitted or crocheted men's pyjamas. Most modern t-shirt style pyjamas are knitted and belong in Chapter 61. Another mistake is classifying woven pyjama bottoms as regular trousers under 6203.43. If the item is sold as sleepwear and lacks a fly or has a specific sleep-oriented cut, it belongs in 6207. Finally, women's woven pyjamas must be classified under 6208.22, making the intended gender of the garment a vital classification detail.

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).
