What decides the code
Pajamas are classified as nightwear in headings 6107 or 6108, depending on gender, with the subheading set by fiber content and knit construction.
- Gender decides the heading: women's pajamas fall in heading 6108, men's pajamas fall in heading 6107.
- Fiber content sets the subheading: cotton pajamas take 6108.31.00.10 for women and 6107.21.00.10 for men, man-made fibers take 6108.32.00.10 for women.
- Knit construction places the garment in headings 6107 and 6108, which cover knitted or crocheted nightwear.
Common mistakes
- Classifying women's knit cotton pajamas in 6107.21.00.10 is wrong because heading 6107 covers men's and boys' nightwear, not women's.
- Classifying women's knit polyester pajamas in 6108.31.00.10 is wrong because that line is limited to cotton, and man-made fiber pajamas take 6108.32.00.10.
- Classifying knit pajamas in heading 6208 is wrong because that heading covers woven nightwear, not knitted garments.
