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.

Classification scope and product features

CN code 620822 covers women's or girls' nightdresses and pyjamas of man-made fibres, made from woven fabrics. Man-made fibres under this subheading include polyester, polyamide, acrylic (synthetic) and viscose, modal, lyocell (artificial). The predominant component by weight must belong to the man-made fibre group. Nightdresses of polyester satin, polyamide chiffon or viscose fabric are typical products. Knitted products are classified under Chapter 61. Correct fibre composition determination is essential - polyester-cotton blends fall under this code only when the man-made fibre predominates by weight. The Combined Nomenclature does not distinguish between nightdresses and pyjamas within this subheading.

Regulations and labelling of man-made fibre products

Importing nightdresses under CN code 620822 requires compliance with the Textile Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. Labels must contain generic fibre names from Annex I (e.g. polyester, polyamide, viscose) and their weight percentages. Use of trade names as the sole fibre designation is not permitted. REACH restrictions apply to disperse azo dyes used for polyester dyeing, formaldehyde in fabric finishing and dyeing carriers. Nightdresses of synthetic fibres may require flammability assessment - polyester melts on contact with fire, and polyamide may ignite and drip. GPSR requires importers to maintain documented risk assessments covering chemical, mechanical and fire hazards.

Trade aspects and customs procedures

The customs declaration for nightdresses under CN code 620822 should describe the product type, dominant fibre, intended gender and construction method. Nightdresses of man-made fibres represent a significant segment of nightwear imports, mainly from China, Vietnam and Cambodia. Importers should check current duty rates and trade measures in TARIC. The GSP system offers preferential rates for developing countries - Cambodia benefits from EBA (zero duty), Vietnam from the EU-Vietnam FTA. Customs value is based on transaction value. Rules of origin require at least weaving and making-up in the beneficiary country. Customs documentation should include an invoice, material specification and proof of origin.

Synthetic women's pyjamas - flammability and product safety

CN 6208 22 covers women's nightdresses and pyjamas of synthetic or artificial fibres, made from woven fabric. Synthetic fabrics (polyester, polyamide) used in nightwear must meet GPSR safety requirements. While the EU does not mandate flammability testing for adult nightwear, importers must perform a general product safety assessment. Polyester satin and viscose pyjamas represent the largest segment of this subheading in EU imports.

Frequently asked questions

Is a polyester satin nightdress classified under code 620822?

Yes. Polyester satin is a woven fabric of synthetic fibres. Women's nightdresses of polyester woven fabrics belong to code 620822. Satin is a type of weave, not a fibre type - classification depends on the fibre composition, not the weave pattern.

Which dyes are restricted under REACH for polyester clothing?

REACH restricts azo dyes releasing aromatic amines to 30 mg/kg per amine (Annex XVII entry 43). For polyester fabrics dyed using disperse methods, restrictions on dyeing carriers containing chlorinated hydrocarbons are also relevant. Importers should require test reports from accredited laboratories.

Does importing nightdresses from Vietnam benefit from preferential tariffs?

Yes. The EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), in force since 2020, provides for progressive elimination of textile duties. Proof of origin is required - an origin declaration by an exporter registered in the REX system or an authorised exporter. Rules of origin require weaving and making-up in Vietnam.

Are polyester satin pyjamas classified under CN 6208 22?

Yes, women's polyester satin pyjamas are classified under CN 6208 22. Polyester is a synthetic fibre and satin is a weave type, not a material.
