Overview
This HTS category, 9902.13.65, pertains to specific provisions related to men's or boys' woven sleepwear. The key characteristics defining goods under this classification are that they are made from man-made fibers, and crucially, they are presented as separate tops and sleepwear bottoms rather than as pre-matched sets. Furthermore, the intended use is explicitly for sleeping attire, designed to be worn in bed. This temporary classification provision refers to the base HTS subheading 6207.99.85 for its primary classification.
It is important to distinguish this provision from other potential classifications. Unlike the broader categories of woven apparel that may not be specifically designed for sleep or may be presented in sets, 9902.13.65 targets individual pieces of sleepwear. Furthermore, the material composition of man-made fibers is a critical differentiator from sleepwear made of natural fibers like cotton or wool, which would fall under different HTS headings. The separate presentation of tops and bottoms also differentiates it from unified sleepwear garments.
As this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this specific code is final, contingent upon meeting all stated criteria. Importers should ensure that the sleepwear in question is indeed woven, constructed from man-made fibers, designed for sleep, and presented as individual tops and bottoms to correctly apply this temporary legislation.
