Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 6108 when importing women's or girls' knitted or crocheted apparel such as slips, petticoats, and nightdresses. For example, if you're shipping cotton nightgowns, this code will help classify your goods correctly.

When deciding between subheadings, consider the material. For slips made of man-made fibers, use 610811. If they are made from other textile materials, choose 610819. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff classification.

For briefs and panties, the choice hinges on the fabric type. Use 610821 for cotton items, 610822 for those made of man-made fibers, and 610829 for other textiles. This ensures compliance with import regulations and accurate duty assessments.

Nightdresses and pyjamas also require careful classification. If they are made of cotton, select 610831; for man-made fibers, use 610832. If they consist of other textile materials, go with 610839. Each subheading has specific tariff implications.
