EU duties on RI textiles

BRUSSELS (Reuter): The European Commission said yesterday it was reimposing import duties on textiles and clothing originating in India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand and China.

In a statement published in its official journal, it said it was taking the action because the countries concerned had reached their individual export ceilings to the European Union.

The Commission had suspended customs duties on those countries on July 1. It gave no details on the level of the duties.

Products covered by the decision range from Indian and Indonesian waistcoats, Pakistani clothes and mittens and man-made textiles from Thailand.
