HTS heading 6108 is a four-digit product category for women’s or girls’ apparel that is knitted or crocheted. It groups undergarments and sleepwear, such as slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, night dresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar garments. The heading describes the general product family, not the final classification or duty treatment.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTS code, first confirm that the garment belongs in heading 6108 and is knitted or crocheted. Then review the more specific subheadings, which commonly distinguish the article by garment type, fiber or material composition, and sometimes other construction or use details. The product’s actual features and the tariff schedule’s wording control; an importer should verify the current HTSUS provisions and seek customs-broker advice when the classification is uncertain.
What to check
- Confirm the item is for women or girls and is knitted or crocheted, rather than woven or made from another construction.
- Identify the garment’s primary type—such as panties, pajamas, a nightdress, or a robe—and compare it with the subheading descriptions.
- Check the fiber composition carefully, including the material that predominates when the tariff language requires a material distinction; use manufacturing records and laboratory results when needed.
- Review design and construction details, such as whether the item is underwear, sleepwear, or a similar article, and do not rely only on the product name used in a catalog.
- Read the complete current 8-digit HTSUS description and confirm any applicable classification notes before filing; ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling if competing headings or subheadings appear plausible.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
