A partire da 24 Ottobre 2026, customs duty on women’s gonne imported from India depends on destination trade agreements and whether the garment is knitted or woven. Preferential trade agreements allow Indian skirts to enter the United Kingdom and Australia at 0% dazio, whereas the European Union levies 9.6% under its generalised scheme of preferences. Negli Stati Uniti, where no trade agreement is in force, woven skirts carry total duties between 16.6% E 26% including additional Section 301 tariffe, while knitted viscose skirts benefit from an 8% duty advantage over woven viscose skirts.
Stati Uniti: Knitted versus woven skirt duty
There is no trade agreement in force between the United States and India. Garments from India are subject to standard Most Favoured Nation rates plus a 10% additional duty under Section 301, raccolto da allora 24 Luglio 2026. Import VAT or GST does not apply. Customs duties for apparel from India span an overall range of 1.2–32% + 10%, con tariffe verificate su 2026-10-23.
The construction method produces clear tariff differences for certain fibres:
Viscose and rayon skirts show the largest divergence between constructions. Woven viscose skirts incur a standard duty of 16%, reaching a total duty of 26% with Section 301. Knitted viscose skirts incur a standard duty of 8%, risultando in un dazio totale di 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% dazio standard, totalling 18.2% after Section 301. Knitted cotton skirts carry an 8.3% dazio standard, totalling 18.3%.
Polyester skirts face identical duties regardless of fabric construction. Both woven polyester skirts and knitted polyester skirts incur a standard duty of 16%, reaching 26% total duty.
For other woven fibres, silk skirts and linen skirts each incur a standard duty of 6.6%, portando il dazio totale a 16.6% with Section 301.
Regarding other trade measures, International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariffs and the 25% La tassa sul petrolio russo è terminata a febbraio 2026. Diritto pubblico 119-111 di 18 settembre 2026 permits up to 100% additional duty on goods from major buyers of Russian energy, but an Executive Order of 16 Ottobre 2026 waives that duty until further action, meaning it is not collected on Indian goods.
Australia: Knitted duty-free lines and ECTA preference
Customs duties on garments from India enter Australia in the duty range of 0–5%, verificato il 2026-10-18. Sotto l'Australia–Accordo commerciale e di cooperazione economica con l'India, che è in vigore da allora 29 Dicembre 2022, Australia eliminated customs duty on every garment line from the date of entry into force. Avviso doganale 2022/52 provides duty-free entry for qualifying Indian-origin garments.
When imported without proof of Indian origin, standard general rates distinguish between constructions:
Woven skirts of cotton, viscosa / rayon, poliestere, seta, or linen carry Australia’s standard 5% dazio. Under the trade agreement, this drops to 0% with valid proof of Indian origin.
Knitted skirts of cotton, viscosa / rayon, or polyester carry a standard 0% dazio, entering duty-free for all importers regardless of trade preference.
Per richiedere il 0% rate under the agreement on woven skirts, Australia requires an official certificate of origin issued by an authorised agency in India; non è consentita l'autodichiarazione. Garments must satisfy the trade agreement origin rule for textiles, requiring a change of tariff subheading and a minimum qualifying value content. Spedizioni valutate in AUD 1,000 o meno non richiedono un certificato di origine.
Australian Goods and Services Tax is 10%, calculated on the taxable importation value: valore in dogana, più dazio, più trasporto internazionale e assicurazione. Businesses registered for GST can join the Deferred GST scheme for monthly Business Activity Statement lodgers, where GST is reported and claimed back on the same return so that nothing is paid at clearance. Altrimenti, GST is paid at import and claimed as an input tax credit.
