HTS heading 6208 is a broad product category for women’s or girls’ apparel such as singlets and other undershirts, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles. It generally covers these garments when they are made from textile materials and are constructed as garments of heading 6208, rather than being placed in a different heading because of their material, construction, or intended use.
The 4-digit heading is only the starting point. To reach the specific 8-digit HTSUS subheading, read the provisions beneath heading 6208 and identify the garment’s type and the applicable material or fiber grouping. Check the garment’s essential characteristics, fabric composition, knit or woven construction, and design. Classification can be fact-specific, so a customs broker or binding ruling may be appropriate when the result is uncertain.
What to check
- Identify the garment precisely: for example, distinguish underwear, sleepwear, slips, and robes based on its design and principal use.
- Confirm whether the item is knitted or crocheted or made from woven fabric, and check whether that construction directs you to another HTS chapter or heading.
- Use the product’s fiber composition and applicable textile descriptions to move from heading 6208 to the correct 8-digit subheading.
- Review garment details such as lining, lace, embroidery, closures, attached components, and whether the item is sold as a set; these can affect classification.
- Compare the proposed code with the current HTSUS text, chapter notes, and official classification guidance, and seek broker or customs advice for borderline cases.
HTS heading 6208 summary

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.
