Moderator	posted 02 February 2010 11:17 AM for Pooviah: As you may know there are many many types of textile fabrics – cotton, wool, man made fibre and natural fibre fabrics (spreading over HS Chapters 51 to 58) with different rates of import duty levied in t he EU (and UK) included. For instance for cotton fabrics classified under HS Chapter 52 the import duty for third country is mostly 8%. Although India is featured as a beneficiary country under the EU generalized preference system there is no reduction of import duty rate offered as this a sensitive textile item. UK Standard VAT is charged at 17.5%.
Moderator	posted 02 February 2010 11:20 AM In general there is no licensing requirement for most import or export trade for the mentioned commodities between the UK and India.
