Complete Tariff Product Description
What is classified under HS Code 6108.31.00?
HS Code 6108.31.00 covers women's or girls' nightdresses and pyjamas, knitted or crocheted, of cotton. In commercial practice these goods are traded as Sleepwear made of 100% Cotton Single Jersey, and buyers, factories and customs brokers most often refer to them as womens pajamas, nightdress knit, sleep shirt.
The code is read level by level: Section XI (Textiles and Textile Articles) narrows to Chapter 61 (Knitted or Crocheted Apparel), then Heading 6108 (Women's or girls' slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pyjamas, knitted or crocheted) and Subheading 6108.31 (Nightdresses and pyjamas, of cotton), ending at the 8-digit tariff line 6108.31.00. The first six digits follow the WCO international standard and stay the same in every country; the final two digits are the national subdivision used for duty assessment and trade statistics.
- Classification is decided by the heading text and the material and construction it names — here, 100% Cotton Single Jersey and Sleepwear.
- If a shipment mixes this product with other textile articles, each item is classified under its own heading; goods put up in sets follow the essential-character rule (GIR 3).
- When the same product exists in several materials, the material named in this code (100% Cotton Single Jersey) is the one that must appear on the invoice and packing list.
How to declare HS Code 6108.31.00
- Commercial invoice: print 6108.31.00 next to the item description (Sleepwear) with the material composition (100% Cotton Single Jersey) matching the code text exactly.
- Packing list: keep quantities, net and gross weights and carton counts consistent with the invoice line for this code.
- Certificate of Origin & Bill of Lading: repeat the same code so bank document checkers under an L/C and customs officers see one consistent classification across all documents.
- Before shipment: verify the code against the destination country's current tariff schedule — duty rates, restrictions and required certificates are set nationally, not by the HS code itself.
