Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 620791 when importing or exporting men's or boys' cotton singlets, vests, and bathrobes that are not knitted or crocheted. For example, if you're shipping a batch of cotton singlets for a retail clothing line, this is the correct code.

The 6207 heading narrows down the classification to various types of undergarments and nightwear, while this specific subheading focuses on cotton items, which are popular for their breathability and comfort. If you’re dealing with items like pajamas or bathrobes made from cotton, this is the code to use.
When considering similar items, note that this code does not cover knitted or crocheted versions of these garments, which would be classified under different headings. Make sure to check the fabric type and construction method to determine the correct HS code.
