Duty into European Union is charged on the CIF value.
* 0% only if that preference’s rule of origin is met. For goods from Nepal we check this for each style before you order.
Costs are illustrative, not our quote, and freight is set the same for every origin so the chart shows the duty difference alone (Nepal’s inland leg to Kolkata usually adds a little). Rates verified 2026-09-25; confirm your 10-digit code with your customs broker.
Reading the chart
EU & UK
Nepal and Bangladesh pay 0%. China pays 12%. India pays 9.6% into the EU (its EU trade agreement is not yet in force) and 0% into the UK since 15 July 2026. Vietnam pays 0% only when the fabric is Vietnamese or from the importing side, so Vietnamese garments made from Chinese fabric usually pay 12%.
Canada
Nepal and Bangladesh pay 0% under the LDC tariff; China and India pay 18%. Vietnam pays 0% under CPTPP only with qualifying (yarn-forward) inputs.
Japan
Nepal, Bangladesh and India pay 0%. China pays 4.6–6.8% under RCEP (up to 10.9% without RCEP origin). Vietnam pays 0% under its agreements.
United States
No one is duty-free. Nepal pays the normal rate only (16.5% on cotton T-shirts), the lowest of these five origins, because the 10–12.5% Section 301 duties in force since 24 July 2026 apply to Bangladesh, India, Vietnam and China but not Nepal.
Australia
All five origins can enter at 0%, so Nepal has no duty advantage there. Nepal’s 0% also depends on the 50% factory-cost rule for each style.
India
Nepal pays no basic customs duty under the Nepal–India Treaty of Trade or SAFTA (70% rule), and Bangladesh none under SAFTA (but only through Nhava Sheva and Kolkata seaports since May 2025). China and Vietnam pay 20% plus a 10% surcharge on it. IGST applies to all.
UAE
Nepal, Bangladesh and China pay the standard 5% GCC duty; India and Vietnam pay 0% under their CEPAs. Nepal’s case there is the short route and low MOQ, not duty.
