Считано от 24 октомври 2026, Indian garment exports to the European Union qualify for preferential EU Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP) duty rates, lowering the standard 12% third-country tariff to 9.6% on most apparel. Although a renewed GSP framework under Regulation (ЕС) 2026/1395 се прилага от 1 януари 2027, Indian clothing retains these lower rates until the European Union publishes a fresh list of product suspensions. To secure these preferences, EU importers must ensure their Indian supplier is registered in the Registered Exporter (REX) system and provides a valid invoice statement on origin.
Current EU GSP duty rates for Indian garments
Garments imported into the EU from India carry standard duties between 8% и 12%, but qualify for a reduced range of 6.4% към 9.6% under the EU GSP agreement. India is a standard GSP beneficiary country. Съгласно регламента за прилагане (ЕС) 2025/1909, the European Union suspended GSP preferences for Indian textiles for the 2026–2028 cycle, but did not suspend apparel. Следователно, Indian garments continue to enter the EU at preferential tariff rates.
Woven and knitted рокли manufactured from cotton, viscose or rayon, полиестер, коприна, or linen incur a standard 12% duty, which drops to 9.6% с доказателство за индийски произход.

Knitted scarves and stoles in cotton or wool face a 12% standard duty, намалена до 9.6%. Bandanas made of cotton, полиестер, or containing 70% or more silk carry a 10% standard duty, falling to 8% under preference. Cotton terry and flat-woven towels pay 9.6% вместо 12%.

What changes under the renewed 2027 regulation
The EU’s current GSP framework under Regulation (ЕС) 978/2012 has applied since 1 януари 2014, and was extended in November 2023 until December 2027 pending review. A renewed GSP framework, Регламент (ЕС) 2026/1395, се прилага от 1 януари 2027. Under this regulation, the European Commission must establish a fresh list of suspended product sections. До публикуването на този списък, Indian apparel remains eligible for existing GSP duty reductions. We will update this page when that list is published; if you need certainty on future shipments, проверете при вашия митнически брокер.
Importers should also follow progress on the bilateral EU–Търговско споразумение с Индия. The EU and India concluded negotiations on 27 януари 2026, and on 11 септември 2026 the European Commission proposed the signing decision to the Council. Next steps require a Council decision, подпис, одобрението на Европейския парламент, и ратификация от двете страни. The agreement is not yet signed and is not in force; не е обявена официална дата за влизане в сила, and zero-duty rates cannot apply before formal ratification.
In late October 2026, reports cited Indian Trade Minister Piyush Goyal stating that the agreement could be signed by December 2026, with rollout expected by March–април 2027, or operational in January–March 2027 в рамките на 4 към 5 месеца. German ministerial reports noted that the pact is expected to save €4 billion a year in customs duties. Once in force, the draft EU schedule eliminates duty to 0% across all garment lines. Въпреки това, the draft origin rule requires fabric to be woven or knitted in India or the EU; garments sewn from imported fabric would not qualify for zero duty and would remain on prevailing tariff rates.
REX origin rules and import VAT compliance
To claim preferential GSP rates at EU customs, shipments must satisfy EU origin procedures. Goods must be wholly obtained in India or undergo sufficient processing under product-specific rules. Duty drawback is permitted under GSP, allowing refunds on duties paid on imported non-originating materials used in manufacturing. The scheme permits bilateral cumulation with EU materials, regional cumulation with Group III countries (Бангладеш, Bhutan, Индия, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka), and cumulation with Norway, Switzerland, and Türkiye. Under the non-alteration rule, goods must be transported directly without processing in intermediate countries, except for operations like marking, labelling, or storage under customs supervision.
Claims for preferential duty require a valid statement on origin under the Registered Exporter (REX) система. Тъй като 30 юни 2020, Form A origin certificates are no longer accepted for EU imports. The Indian exporter must be registered in REX and must provide the statement on origin directly on the commercial invoice, опаковъчен лист, or delivery note. This statement remains valid for 12 months from the date it was made. Exporters not registered in REX may only issue statements for consignments up to €6,000, while consignments under €500 for small packages require no proof.
In addition to customs duty, EU customs authorities collect import VAT, calculated on the customs value plus duty. Garments imported into Germany incur a 19% ДДС при внос, while France charges 20% ДДС при внос. For EU VAT-registered businesses, import VAT is deductible as input tax on their VAT return. Member states also permit accounting for import VAT directly on the VAT return under Article 211 от Директивата за ДДС (като Холандия’ статия 23 licence and Belgium’s ET14000 procedure), while Germany offers a customs deferment account.
