Import Tariff Calculator — EU & US Clothing and Textile Duties

Import duties are a significant cost factor when sourcing clothing internationally. The EU applies a standard 12% customs duty on most garment imports from non-EU countries. The US uses the Harmonised Tariff Schedule (HTS) with variable rates depending on fabric composition, garment construction, and country of origin — typically ranging from 6% to 32%.

This free calculator estimates import duties based on your specific garment details: product type (t-shirt, hoodie, jacket, pants), fabric composition (cotton, polyester, blend), construction method (knit or woven), and origin country. It looks up the applicable HS code and calculates the estimated duty as both a percentage and a per-unit amount.

For brands manufacturing with White Cotton in Portugal: shipments within the EU have zero customs duties under EU free movement of goods. Shipments to the UK benefit from the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) with zero tariffs on qualifying goods with EUR.1 certificates. We provide all export documentation — commercial invoices, packing lists, EUR.1 certificates, and HS codes.
