Overview
HTS Code 9820.62.20 specifically covers pajama bottoms and other sleepwear that meet the criteria outlined in U.S. Note 6(n) to this subchapter. A key differentiator for this classification is that these items must be imported directly from Haiti or the Dominican Republic. This provision is a temporary measure, as indicated by its expiration date.
Unlike the goods classified under Chapter 01 (Live Animals), which deal with livestock and poultry, this HTS code focuses on finished apparel items. Furthermore, while other temporary provisions within Section XXII might exist, 9820.62.20 is uniquely tied to specific textile products and their direct import origin from designated Caribbean Basin countries. It does not encompass general apparel or other categories of temporary legislation.
As a leaf node in the HTS database, HTS Code 9820.62.20 has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this code hinges entirely on meeting the definition of sleepwear as per U.S. Note 6(n) and confirming the direct shipment from either Haiti or the Dominican Republic. Importers should carefully review the specific requirements of U.S. Note 6(n) to ensure accurate classification.
