How is import duty calculated when importing clothing and sarees from India into the US, UK, or Europe?

Question

Accepted Answer

Import duty is calculated based on the CIF value (Cost of Goods + Insurance + Freight) multiplied by your country's specific customs tariff rate for that HSN chapter (typically 5% to 15% for apparel), plus local Value Added Tax (VAT) or sales tax upon clearance. When international boutique owners import parcels from Surat, Ahmedabad, or Jaipur: Customs Brokerage: Courier companies (DHL/FedEx) act as your broker for small parcels, collecting duty online prior to doorstep delivery. Commercial Invoices: Ensure your Indian exporter includes accurate HS codes, itemized quantities, and made-in-India country-of-origin declarations to prevent customs delays.
