8 six-digit codes · Heading 8 of 17 in Chapter 62 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 6208 covers nightwear and underwear for women and girls, made from woven cloth.
Heading 6208 is finely cut: 8 six-digit codes, 620811 to 620899, all of them under “Singlets and other vests, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pyjamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles; women's or girls' (not knitted or crocheted)”. At that depth it is the exact wording of the code, not of the heading, that settles a classification. The heading is number 8 of 17 in Chapter 62, Apparel and clothing accessories; not knitted or crocheted, which runs to 104 six-digit codes in all.

What does HS code 6208 cover?
Heading 6208 is the home of women's and girls' nightwear and underwear. The cloth must be not knitted or crocheted, so these are woven garments.
The number comes from the WCO Harmonized System, which customs offices use for customs tariff classification. Some traders call it an HSN code 6208. It is a short, shared label for a group of goods, and the last digits tell you the exact garment and fabric.
HS 6208 six-digit codes by product and material
Pick the garment type first. Then pick the fabric. The fabric splits each garment group into cotton, man-made fibres or other materials.
A cotton pyjama set goes to 620821. A polyester nightdress goes to 620822, because polyester is a man-made fibre. Silk, wool and linen count as other materials.
- Cotton slips belong in 620819.
How to choose the right 6208 subheading
Nightwear is easy to misfile. Work through these checks in order before you write a code on an invoice.
One exclusion matters. Code 620892 leaves out incontinence and other sanitary garments, and garment liners. Those items have their own heading elsewhere in the tariff. If you are still unsure, run the product through the HS code classifier and confirm the result with your customs broker.
- Check how the cloth is made. If it is knitted, it does not belong here.
- Check who the garment is for. Items for women and girls fit. Items for men and boys do not.
- Match the garment type: slip, nightdress, pyjama, brief, bathrobe or vest.
- Find the main fibre: cotton, man-made fibres or something else.
