The US schedule separates men's (6107210010) from boys' (6107210020) articles under the general line (6107210000). A recurring classification question for this heading is whether a two-piece cotton knit set constitutes pajamas or a loungewear/activewear set — CBP generally looks to commercial designation, labeling, and design features such as a pajama-style collar or button placket to confirm sleepwear classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CBP considers design intent, commercial labeling, and construction details. Pajamas typically feature styling associated with sleepwear — such as a notched collar, button-front placket, or elastic-waist pants with a relaxed cut — and are labeled and marketed as sleepwear. Two-piece sets labeled as loungewear or activewear, or designed with features common to sportswear, are more likely to be classified under other Chapter 61 headings. Hang tags, care labels, and commercial invoices describing the article as sleepwear support classification under 610721.
Yes. Children's sleepwear in sizes 0–14 is subject to CPSC flammability standards under 16 CFR Parts 1615 and 1616. Cotton knit pajamas for boys must either meet the flame-resistance standard or comply with the tight-fitting exemption requirements. Importers should ensure that products meet CPSC requirements and maintain test records before entry. Consult a licensed customs broker or compliance specialist for current requirements.
