Pajamas and sleepwear are classified in 2 separate categories within the FindHS.Codes system as
- nightshirts and pyjamas (i.e. pajamas and nightgowns consisting of two pieces of clothing)
- Sleepwear (i.e. pajamas and nightgowns consisting of one piece)
"nightshirts and pyjamas" consist of two garments, namely:
— a garment intended to cover the upper part of the body, generally a jacket-type garment, or pullover or similar type of garment,
— a garment consisting of trousers or shorts of simple cut, whether or not with an opening.
The components of these pyjamas must be of corresponding or compatible size and of matching cut, constituent fabric, colours, decorations and degree of finish, to show clearly that they are designed to be worn together by one person.
One-piece nightwear of the overall type covering both the upper part and the lower part of the body and enveloping each leg separately are classified as "Sleepwear".
Sleepwear (pajama) tops and (pajama) bottoms, if imported in the same shipment in equal numbers of tops and bottoms that match as to design, style, coloring and size, would be classified as "nightshirts and pyjamas". However, such garments imported separately (shipments of only tops or only bottoms) or if imported as extra components without a matching top or bottom in a shipment, are classified as "Sleepwear".
