Classification of women's knit nightdress under HS 6108.39
HS code 6108.39 covers women's or girls' nightdresses and pyjamas that are knitted or crocheted and composed of textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. This classification falls under Heading 6108, which encompasses various types of intimate apparel and sleepwear. The specific subheading 6108.39 is reserved for sleepwear made from "other" materials like silk, wool, or linen. Classification depends on the garment's design for use as nightwear and its knitted construction. Knitted fabrics are preferred for sleepwear due to their elasticity and comfort, which distinguishes them from the woven sleepwear found in Chapter 62. The determination of whether a garment is a nightdress or a pyjama set depends on its length and whether it consists of one piece (nightdress) or two pieces (pyjamas). For 6108.39, the material composition is the final deciding factor after confirming the knitted nature and the sleepwear function.

Codes often confused with 6108.39
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 6208.29, which is for woven nightdresses. Importers must verify the fabric construction (knit vs. woven) before selecting the code. Another error is using 6108.31 (cotton) or 6108.32 (man-made fibers) when the garment is actually made of silk or other natural fibers. Additionally, loungewear that is not clearly designed for sleeping may be misclassified here instead of under general apparel headings like 6104 or 6114, depending on its appearance and commercial usage.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
