The applicable subheading for style 57008 will be 6208.21.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for women’s singlets and other undershirts, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles: nightdresses and pajamas: of cotton: other: women’s.
