HTS code for pajamas and sleepwear (2026)
Most knitted cotton pajamas fall under the women's or girls' lines 6108.31.00.10 (women's) and 6108.31.00.20 (girls'), or the men's or boys' lines 6107.21.00.10 (men's) and 6107.21.00.20 (boys'). The general (column 1) rate is 8.5% for the women's cotton line and 8.9% for the men's cotton line. Section 301 China (9903.88.15, +7.5%) is attached to these lines.
The attribute that most often moves a pajama to another line is the fiber. Man-made fibers (for example polyester) move women's pajamas to 6108.32.00.10 and men's pajamas to 6107.22.00.10, both at a general rate of 16%. Gender and age (women's or girls' versus men's or boys') decide which of the two groups applies.

What decides the line
First confirm the garment is knitted or crocheted. The lines on this page cover only knitted or crocheted articles. For woven pajamas, confirm the correct line in the current HTSUS or with a licensed broker.
Second, decide who the garment is made for. Women's and girls' pajamas, night dresses and negligees go to the 6108 lines. Men's and boys' pajamas and nightshirts go to the 6107 lines. Within each group, the last digits separate adults from children, for example 6108.31.00.10 (women's) and 6108.31.00.20 (girls'), or 6107.21.00.10 (men's) and 6107.21.00.20 (boys').
Third, look at the fiber. Cotton goes to 6108.31 or 6107.21 (8.5% and 8.9%). Man-made fibers go to 6108.32 or 6107.22 (16% each). Other materials fall into separate lines: for men's and boys' nightshirts and pajamas, 6107.29.50.00 applies to silk of 70 percent or more by weight (0.9%), and 6107.29.90.00 covers other materials (5.6%). The schedule also lists a men's and boys' wool line, 6107.29.20.00 (8.5%). Check the fiber content against the full line text.
Finally, for man-made fiber children's pajamas, check whether the garment is a blanket sleeper. Girls' blanket sleepers go to 6108.32.00.15 and boys' to 6107.22.00.15. Other girls' and boys' pajamas of man-made fibers go to 6108.32.00.25 and 6107.22.00.25. The schedule also lists other cotton and man-made sleepwear lines (for example 6107.91.00.30 and 6107.99.10.30), so confirm the exact line with a licensed broker when your garment could fit more than one.
Common mistakes
- Classifying polyester pajamas under the cotton line because they are sold as cotton style; the fiber that predominates by weight decides, and man-made fibers take 6108.32 or 6107.22 at a general rate of 16%.
- Using a men's line for a women's or girls' pajama set (or the reverse); women's and girls' sleepwear belongs to 6108 and men's and boys' to 6107.
- Putting children's blanket sleepers under the general children's line; use 6108.32.00.15 for girls' or 6107.22.00.15 for boys' when the garment is a blanket sleeper of man-made fibers.
- Filing only the classification and leaving out 9903.88.15 when the goods are subject to Section 301 China; the Chapter 99 heading is reported as its own line beside the classification.
- Treating the Free special rate as automatic; it applies only to goods that qualify under a listed program, otherwise the general rate applies.
