Garments imported into Germany from India incur standard 19% import VAT alongside customs duties ranging from 8% uchun 12%, gacha qisqartirildi 6.4% uchun 9.6% under EU GSP preferences verified on 24 oktyabr 2026. Bu 19% import VAT is assessed on the customs value plus any customs duty paid, and EU VAT-registered importers can deduct the full amount as input tax on their periodic VAT return. Unlike EU member states that permit import VAT accounting directly on the return at clearance, Germany requires payment upon entry or the use of a customs deferment account.
How German import VAT applies to apparel shipments
Clothing imported into Germany is subject to Germany’s standard 19% QQS. Import VAT is charged at import on the customs value plus duty. This means the 19% charge is calculated against the total sum of the goods’ bojxona qiymati (including international transport and insurance) and the applicable customs duty assessed at the border.
YI QQSda roʻyxatdan oʻtgan korxona QQS deklaratsiyasida kirish soligʻi sifatida import QQSni chegirib tashlaydi. This mechanism ensures that commercial imports do not carry cumulative turnover tax, though the importing business must initially settle or secure the tax when the goods enter the country. Because clothing does not qualify for reduced rates, standart 19% VAT rate applies uniformly across all women’s garments, shu jumladan liboslar, kaftanlar, yubkalar, toplar, va sharflar.

Border cash flow and customs deferment accounts
Managing import liquidity is an important consideration for garment businesses bringing in seasonal collections. Maqola 211 of the VAT Directive allows EU member states to let businesses account for import VAT in their periodic VAT return instead of paying it at the border. Several member states have implemented this facility; masalan, the Netherlands provides an Article 23 licence and Belgium operates the ET14000 system, both of which avoid immediate border payments.
Germany handles import payments differently and does not offer postponed import VAT accounting on the return at the point of clearance. Buning o'rniga, Germaniya bojxona kechiktirish hisobini taklif qiladi. A customs deferment account allows an authorised importer or agent to defer the payment of import duties and import VAT, grouping charges into periodic direct debits rather than paying on a consignment-by-consignment basis at release. This arrangement assists working capital between the date of border clearance and the subsequent filing of the input tax deduction on the VAT return. Importers should check with their customs broker regarding the specific security, guarantees, and application criteria required to open a German deferment account.
