Standard tariffs are 12% on dresses, caftanes, afueras, bufandas de punto y estolas, and tops and blouses across cotton, viscose or rayon, poliéster, seda, and linen. Standard tariffs on woven scarves and stoles are 8% across cotton, viscose or rayon, poliéster, seda, lana, and linen. Under CETA, verified Indian origin reduces all these lines to 0%.
