נכון ליום 17 אוֹקְטוֹבֶּר 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 צעיפים ארוגים 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, up to 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%. באוסטרליה, 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.
In the United States, 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.
