Από το 17 Οκτώβριος 2026, import duty on bandanas from India is not the same as for scarves because customs schedules treat bandanas as distinct made-up textile items with separate standard tariffs, origin rules, and fibre categories. While υφαντά κασκόλ enter the UK and EU at an 8% standard duty and enter Australia duty-free, bandanas face standard rates of 10% in the UK and EU, μέχρι και 5% in Australia, and fibre-specific tariffs reaching 23.2% in the United States. Importers must therefore declare bandanas by their exact garment construction and fibre composition to ensure accurate border duty calculations.
Tariff differences between bandanas and scarves
Importers frequently assume that bandanas and scarves share the same tariff classification, but customs authorities distinguish between them based on product type, hemmed finishing, and fibre. In several major markets, woven scarves benefit from lower baseline rates than square, hemmed bandanas.
In both the United Kingdom and the European Union, standard tariffs on woven scarves sit at 8%. In contrast, bandanas made of cotton (hemmed, without lace or embroidery), polyester or other man-made fibres, or silk carry a higher standard duty of 10%. Στην Αυστραλία, scarves and shawls are classified as Free under general rates for all supplying countries, whereas bandanas made from polyester, man-made fibres, or silk carry a 5% standard tariff. Cotton bandanas that are hemmed without lace or embroidery carry a 0% standard rate in Australia.
Στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, duties vary significantly across specific fibre lines. Hemmed cotton bandanas without lace or embroidery carry a standard duty of 13.2%, polyester or man-made fibre bandanas face 10.8%, and silk bandanas containing 70% or more silk face 1.1%. These differences mean that treating bandanas as generic scarves can lead to miscalculated landed costs.
Duty rates and trade agreements by market
Applied duty on Indian bandanas depends on whether the destination territory has an active preferential trade agreement with India, grants unilateral preferences, or levies additional trade measures.

Earlier IEEPA tariffs and the 25% Russian-oil duty ended in February 2026. Δημόσιο Δίκαιο 119-111, signed on 18 Σεπτέμβριος 2026, allows up to 100% extra duty on goods from major buyers of Russian oil and gas, but as of today no notice applies it to India.

Indian bandanas therefore qualify for an 8% GSP duty (compared to 6.4% σε υφαντά κασκόλ), provided the exporter is registered in the EU REX system and includes an origin statement on the invoice. A renewed scheme under Regulation (ΕΕ) 2026/1395 ισχύει από 1 Ιανουάριος 2027 and will require a fresh list of suspended sections.
