RE: The tariff classification of women’s knit garments from Indonesia
Dear Ms. Hodur:
In your letter dated June 26, 2025, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Your samples will be returned
to you, as requested.
Style 772167 is a women’s pajama top and bottom. Both garments are constructed from 92 percent modal, 8
percent spandex knit fabric. The blouse of style 772167 measures at least 10 or more stitches per linear
centimeter measured in both directions. The loose-fitting blouse extends from the shoulders to below the
waist and features a round front neckline with a partial opening secured by a six-button left over right
closure, long sleeves and a hemmed bottom. The pull-on shorts of style 772167 feature a 1½ inch wide self-
fabric covered tunnel elasticized waistband, side pockets and hemmed leg openings. The shorts extend from
the waist to just above the knee.
Style 783082 is a women’s pullover sleepwear sleeveless dress constructed from 92 percent modal and 8
percent spandex knit fabric. The outer surface of the garment measures more than nine stitches per two
centimeters in the direction the stitches were formed. The dress features a round neckline, finished armholes,
and a finished hemline that extends to the ankle.
Style 783006 is a women’s pajama top and bottom. Both garments are constructed from 63 percent lyocell,
34 percent polyester and 3 percent spandex knit fabric. The blouse of style 783006 measures at least 10 or
more stitches per linear centimeter measured in both directions. The loose-fitting blouse extends from the
shoulders to below the waist and features a round neckline, hemmed, short sleeves, and a straight, hemmed
bottom. The lounge pants of style 783006 feature a 1½ inch wide self-fabric covered elasticized waistband,
and side slits at hemmed leg openings.
In your ruling request you indicate the garments will be sold together as a sleepwear pajama set with one
price ticket and will feature the “LOFT SLEEP” label sewn onto each garment, and suggest the garments are
classifiable under heading 6108, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United Sates (HTSUS), as pajamas sets.
Although you refer to these garments as sleepwear, we find that garments of this style and construction are
considered multi-use lounge wear garments that may be worn in a variety of informal situations in and
around the home. The garments at issue may be worn to bed for sleeping, however, it is our opinion that
their principal use is for “home comfort” and lounging. The garments can easily make the transition from
inside the home (in a private setting) to outside the home (and a more social environment). As such, these
garments are not classified as sleepwear, which is limited to garments that are designed for wear only to bed
for sleeping.
The applicable subheading for the blouses of styles 772167 and 783006 will be 6106.20.2010, HTSUS,
which provides for Women’s or girls’ blouses and shirts, knitted, or crocheted: Of man-made fibers: Other:
Women’s. The general rate of duty will be 32 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the shorts of style 772167 will be 6104.69.2060, HTSUS, which provides for
Women's shorts (other than swimwear), knitted or crocheted: Of other textile materials: Of artificial fiber:
Shorts. The general rate of duty will be 28.2 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for style 783082 will be 6104.44.2010, HTSUS, which provides for Women’s or
girls’ suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace
overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear), knitted or crocheted: Dresses: Of artificial fibers: Other:
Women’s. The general duty rate will be 14.9 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the lounge pants of style 783006 will be 6104.69.2030, HTSUS, which
provides for Women’s or girls’, suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts,
trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear), knitted or crocheted: trousers,
bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts: Of other textile materials: Of artificial fibers: Trousers, breeches
and shorts… Other: Trousers and breeches. The general rate of duty will be 28.2 percent ad valorem.
