Estados Unidos: Knitted versus woven skirt duty
There is no trade agreement in force between the United States and India.

Knitted viscose skirts incur a standard duty of 8%, resultando en un arancel total de 18%. This gives knitted viscose skirts an 8% duty saving compared to woven viscose skirts.
Cotton skirts carry comparable duties across constructions. Woven cotton skirts face an 8.2% servicio estándar, totalling 18.2% after Section 301. Knitted cotton skirts carry an 8.3% servicio estándar, totalling 18.3%.

When imported without proof of Indian origin, standard general rates distinguish between constructions:
Woven skirts of cotton, viscosa / rayón, poliéster, seda, or linen carry Australia’s standard 5% arancel. Under the trade agreement, this drops to 0% with valid proof of Indian origin.
Knitted skirts of cotton, viscosa / rayón, or polyester carry a standard 0% arancel, entering duty-free for all importers regardless of trade preference.
