BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Tariff classification and subheading scope

CN code 620729 is the residual subheading covering men's or boys' nightshirts and pyjamas of textile materials other than cotton and man-made fibres, made from woven fabrics. This code covers products made from silk, wool, linen, hemp and blends where none of the fibres specified in subheadings 620721–620722 constitutes the predominant component by weight. Silk and linen pyjamas are typical products of this subheading, though they represent a niche segment of the nightwear market. The fabric must be woven - knitted products are classified under Chapter 61. When classifying products from fibre blends, Note 2 to Section XI applies, requiring determination of the predominant component based on weight percentages of individual fibres.

Regulatory requirements and labelling

Nightshirts under CN code 620729 are subject to the same regulatory requirements as other textile products imported into the EU. Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 requires full fibre composition labelling. Silk should be labelled as silk, wool as wool or virgin wool depending on whether the criteria set out in Article 8 of the regulation are met. REACH restrictions are particularly relevant for wool products dyed with chromium - chromium VI is limited to 3 mg/kg under Annex XVII entry 47. Natural silk garments may require additional verification regarding substances used in the degumming process. The GPSR Regulation applies in full scope, including risk assessment and product traceability obligations.

Trade and customs procedures

Importing nightshirts under CN code 620729 requires standard customs documentation including a customs declaration with a precise product description, commercial invoice and any applicable certificate of origin. Silk products are frequently imported from China and Southeast Asian countries - importers should verify in TARIC whether additional trade measures apply. Linen nightshirts may qualify for preferential duty rates under FTA agreements with European and Mediterranean countries where linen production has a long tradition. The customs value of silk garments tends to be higher than comparable cotton products, affecting the amount of duties payable. EU exports of these products are not subject to export control restrictions.

Silk and linen men's pyjamas - niche segment

CN 6207 29 covers men's nightshirts and pyjamas of textile materials other than cotton and synthetic fibres, made from woven fabric. This includes silk pyjamas (luxury segment), linen and blends. Silk pyjamas represent a niche but growing market segment, valued for hypoallergenic and thermoregulatory properties. Silk pyjama imports come mainly from China. Correct tariff classification with fibre composition details is required at import.

Frequently asked questions

Are men's silk woven pyjamas classified under code 620729?
Yes. Men's pyjamas of woven silk fabric belong to code 620729, which covers nightshirts and pyjamas of materials other than cotton and man-made fibres. Natural silk is not a man-made fibre under the Combined Nomenclature, so silk products fall into this residual subheading.
What REACH restrictions apply to wool garments?
For wool products dyed with chromium, the restriction applies to chromium VI at a maximum of 3 mg/kg under Annex XVII entry 47. General limits on azo dyes (30 mg/kg per amine) and formaldehyde also apply. Wool may also contain pesticide residues from sheep farming, though these are not directly regulated under REACH.
Can linen nightshirts benefit from preferential duty rates?
Yes, provided the rules of origin under the relevant trade agreement are met. Preferences are available under FTA agreements with Pan-Euro-Mediterranean countries and the GSP system. Proof of origin confirming that processing rules (typically weaving and making-up in the beneficiary country) have been met is required.
Are silk men's pyjamas classified under CN 6207 29?
Yes, men's pyjamas of natural silk are classified under CN 6207 29, as silk does not have a separate subheading in heading 6207. The standard duty rate is 12%.
