A partir de 24 Outubro 2026, customs duty on women’s saias 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% direito aduaneiro, whereas the European Union levies 9.6% under its generalised scheme of preferences. Nos Estados Unidos, where no trade agreement is in force, woven skirts carry total duties between 16.6% e 26% including additional Section 301 tarifas, while knitted viscose skirts benefit from an 8% duty advantage over woven viscose skirts.
Estados Unidos: 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, coletados desde 24 Julho 2026. Import VAT or GST does not apply. Customs duties for apparel from India span an overall range of 1.2–32% + 10%, com taxas verificadas em 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%, resultando em um imposto 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% dever padrão, totalling 18.2% after Section 301. Knitted cotton skirts carry an 8.3% dever padrão, 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%, elevando o total de direitos aduaneiros para 16.6% with Section 301.
Regarding other trade measures, International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariffs and the 25% Imposto sobre o petróleo russo terminou em fevereiro 2026. Direito Público 119-111 do 18 Setembro 2026 permits up to 100% additional duty on goods from major buyers of Russian energy, but an Executive Order of 16 Outubro 2026 waives that duty until further action, meaning it is not collected on Indian goods.
Austrália: Knitted duty-free lines and ECTA preference
Customs duties on garments from India enter Australia in the duty range of 0–5%, verificado em 2026-10-18. Sob a Austrália–Acordo de Cooperação Económica e Comercial da Índia, que se aplica desde 29 dezembro 2022, Australia eliminated customs duty on every garment line from the date of entry into force. Aviso Aduaneiro 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, viscose / Rayon, poliéster, seda, or linen carry Australia’s standard 5% direito aduaneiro. Under the trade agreement, this drops to 0% with valid proof of Indian origin.
Knitted skirts of cotton, viscose / Rayon, or polyester carry a standard 0% direito aduaneiro, entering duty-free for all importers regardless of trade preference.
Para reivindicar o 0% rate under the agreement on woven skirts, Australia requires an official certificate of origin issued by an authorised agency in India; a autodeclaração não é permitida. Garments must satisfy the trade agreement origin rule for textiles, requiring a change of tariff subheading and a minimum qualifying value content. Remessas avaliadas em AUD 1,000 ou menos não exigem certificado de origem.
Australian Goods and Services Tax is 10%, calculated on the taxable importation value: valor aduaneiro, mais o imposto de importação, além de transporte internacional e seguro. 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. Caso contrário, GST is paid at import and claimed as an input tax credit.

The bilateral EU–India trade agreement concluded negotiations on 27 Janeiro 2026, e a Comissão Europeia propuseram a decisão de assinatura ao Conselho em 11 Setembro 2026. The draft schedule provides 0% duty on all garment lines from the date it enters into force, though it remains not in force until signed and ratified.
