Classification of women's synthetic nightdress under HS 6108.32
The classification of women's synthetic nightdresses falls under HS code 6108.32. This code is situated within Chapter 61, which covers all knitted or crocheted apparel. Heading 6108 is specifically designated for women's or girls' undergarments and sleepwear, including slips, briefs, and nightdresses. Subheading 6108.32 focuses on nightdresses and pajamas made from man-made fibers. Man-made fibers encompass both synthetic fibers (like polyester and nylon) and artificial fibers (like viscose or rayon). To be classified here, the garment must be clearly identifiable as sleepwear. This is determined by the cut of the garment, the softness or transparency of the fabric, and the absence of features typically found on daywear, such as heavy zippers, belts, or structural tailoring. The knitted construction is essential for this code; if the nightdress were woven, it would move to Chapter 62. Proper classification ensures correct duty application, as sleepwear often carries different tariff rates compared to standard outerwear or dresses. The intent of use and the nature of the fabric are primary factors in determining the classification under 6108.32.

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).
