6208.29.10.00 - Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste (751) 🖩

This HTS code, 6208.29.10.00, specifically classifies women's or girls' nightdresses and pajamas crafted from textile materials other than those explicitly listed in prior subheadings. The defining characteristic for this particular classification is the material composition: the garment must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This emphasis on a high silk content is a critical determinant for distinguishing these items from other garments within the broader category of nightdresses and pajamas.

The primary sibling category, 6208.29.90, covers nightdresses and pajamas of "other textile materials" that do not meet the 70 percent silk content threshold. Therefore, if a nightdress or pair of pajamas is made from a blend where silk or silk waste comprises less than 70 percent by weight, or is made entirely from other fibers, it would fall under the "Other" classification. This distinction is paramount for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 6208.29.10.00 is final once the garment is identified as a nightdress or pajama for women or girls, composed of at least 70 percent silk or silk waste, and not falling into any more specific preceding subheadings (such as those for knitted or crocheted items or specific material compositions outlined earlier in the Chapter 62 hierarchy).
