6208.29 - Of other textile materials:

This HTS category, 6208.29, encompasses women's or girls' nightdresses and pajamas that are not made from cotton or man-made fibers. This means that garments falling under this classification are constructed from other textile materials, such as silk, linen, wool, or regenerated cellulose fibers that are not classified as man-made fibers. The fundamental purpose of these articles is for sleepwear, including long or short nightgowns and two-piece pajama sets.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS code 6208.21 specifically covers nightdresses and pajamas of cotton, while 6208.22.00.00 is designated for those made of man-made fibers. Therefore, 6208.29 is reserved for the remaining textile compositions, serving as a residual category for sleepwear made from materials outside these more commonly specified groups.

Within the 6208.29 category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on material composition. Subcategory 6208.29.10.00 specifically addresses sleepwear containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, highlighting the precious nature of these materials. The broader subcategory 6208.29.90, "Other," serves to capture all remaining nightdresses and pajamas made from textile materials not otherwise specified within this chapter, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
