The pajama pants have an elasticized and drawstring waistband, and hemmed leg openings. You have indicated that this garment will be sold as a sleepwear separate, and will not be imported with a matching top. Therefore, based on the appearance, as well as the marketing, the garment will be classified as sleepwear in heading 6108. The applicable subheading for style 2272 will be 6108.91.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women’s…pajamas…and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of cotton.
