Current EU GSP duty rates for Indian garments
Garments imported into the EU from India carry standard duties between 8% at 12%, but qualify for a reduced range of 6.4% sa 9.6% under the EU GSP agreement. India is a standard GSP beneficiary country. Sa ilalim ng Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1909, the European Union suspended GSP preferences for Indian textiles for the 2026–2028 cycle, but did not suspend apparel. Consequently, Indian garments continue to enter the EU at preferential tariff rates.

The same 9.6% preferential rate applies to skirts, mga blusa, mga blusa, at mga kaftan—including loose robe and cover-up styles—across woven and knitted cotton, viscose, polyester, sutla, at linen.
Accessory duties depend on fabric construction and fibre. Woven scarves and stoles in cotton, viscose, polyester, sutla, lana, or linen carry an 8% standard tariff, nabawasan sa 6.4% sa ilalim ng GSP. Knitted scarves and stoles in cotton or wool face a 12% karaniwang tungkulin, nabawasan sa 9.6%. Bandanas made of cotton, polyester, or containing 70% or more silk carry a 10% karaniwang tungkulin, falling to 8% under preference. Cotton terry and flat-woven towels pay 9.6% sa halip na 12%. Fabric bags, such as cotton canvas, dyut, or polyester tote bags and shoulder bags, carry standard duties of 2.7% o 3.7%, but enter duty-free at 0% na may patunay ng pinagmulang Indian.

What changes under the renewed 2027 regulation
The EU’s current GSP framework under Regulation (EU) 978/2012 has applied since 1 Enero 2014, and was extended in November 2023 until December 2027 pending review. A renewed GSP framework, Regulasyon (EU) 2026/1395, nalalapat mula sa 1 Enero 2027. Under this regulation, the European Commission must establish a fresh list of suspended product sections. Hanggang sa mailathala ang listahang iyon, 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, suriin sa iyong customs broker.
Importers should also follow progress on the bilateral EU–Kasunduan sa kalakalan sa India. The EU and India concluded negotiations on 27 Enero 2026, and on 11 Setyembre 2026 the European Commission proposed the signing decision to the Council. Next steps require a Council decision, signature, Pahintulot ng European Parliament, at pagpapatibay ng magkabilang panig. The agreement is not yet signed and is not in force; walang opisyal na petsa ng pagpasok sa puwersa ay inihayag, 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–Abril 2027, or operational in January–March 2027 sa loob 4 sa 5 buwan. 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. Gayunpaman, 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 (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, 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) sistema. Since 30 Hunyo 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, listahan ng pag-iimpake, 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, kinakalkula sa halaga ng customs kasama ang tungkulin. Garments imported into Germany incur a 19% import VAT, while France charges 20% import VAT. 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 ng VAT Directive (such as the Netherlands’ Artikulo 23 licence and Belgium’s ET14000 procedure), while Germany offers a customs deferment account.
