Tariffs and preferences in the United States and the European Union

Importers bringing Indian silk scarves into the United States and the European Union face active customs charges and specific administrative mechanisms.

There is currently no bilateral trade agreement in force between the United States and India. V dôsledku toho, Indian silk scarves enter under standard Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) rates plus additional trade measures. The standard MFN duty on woven silk scarves is 1.2%. Okrem toho, shipments are subject to a 10% additional duty under Section 301, ktoré sa vyberajú od 24 júla 2026, čo zvyšuje celkové clo na 11.2%. Previous IEEPA tariffs and the 25% Ropné clo z Ruska sa skončilo vo februári 2026. While Public Law 119-111, enacted on 18 septembra 2026, permits an extra duty of up to 100% on goods from major buyers of Russian oil and gas, an Executive Order dated 16 októbra 2026 waives that duty until further action; it is not charged on Indian goods. The United States charges no import VAT or GST. US rates were verified on 23 októbra 2026.

In the European Union, Indian apparel currently receives tariff reductions under the EU Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP). Podľa vykonávacieho nariadenia (EÚ) 2025/1909, GSP preferences for Indian textiles are suspended for the 2026–2028 cyklus, but apparel and finished textile made-up lines remain eligible. V dôsledku toho, woven silk scarves from India qualify for a reduced GSP rate of 6.4%, compared to the standard third-country duty of 8%. Importers claim this preference using a statement on origin made on the invoice by an exporter registered in the EU Registered Exporter (REX) systém. Obnovené nariadenie o GSP, (EÚ) 2026/1395, nadobúda účinnosť od 1 januára 2027; check with your customs broker once the revised suspension lists are published. Import VAT in Germany stands at 19% o colnej hodnote plus clo, which VAT-registered businesses deduct on regular returns.
