👗 Women’s & Girls’ Nightwear & Robes (Pyjamas & Robes)

🌐 HS Code Reference & Clearance Guide | 2026 Latest Tariff Analysis | Strategic Compliance Strategy
📌 I. Product Definition & Classification: Do You Truly Understand "Nightwear"?

Nightwear and robes for women and girls are intimate apparel items designed for sleeping, lounging, or dressing gown purposes. In international trade, classification depends strictly on two factors:
1. Manufacturing Process: Knitted (K/N) vs. Non-Knitted (Woven/Other).
2. Material Composition: Cotton vs. Man-made Fibers vs. Other Textiles.

⚠️ Key Distinction Points:
- Knitted (61xx): Includes jerseys, tricot, lace, and elastic knits. Usually softer, stretchier.
- Non-Knitted (62xx): Includes woven fabrics (cotton, silk, synthetic blends). Usually crisper, structured.
- Robes vs. Pajamas: Both fall under similar headings, but specific sub-codes distinguish by material.
