For HS 620342 (men’s/boys’ cotton trousers & shorts, not knitted) shipped from India to the Netherlands:
Duty in the Netherlands
- MFN import duty: 12.0% on this HS code.
- If you can claim a preferential origin under a valid trade agreement, the duty may be lower — but for India → Netherlands, no automatic preferential rate is shown in the live context, so 12.0% is the applicable benchmark.
India-side export benefit
- RoDTEP benefit: 4.3% of FOB value
This is an export incentive available from India side, subject to eligibility and correct declaration.
Documents you should prepare

Compliance notes specific to this product/lane
- HS 620342 is a textile/apparel item, so customs will focus on:
- correct classification
- origin
- valuation
- textile product description, fabric composition, and size/sex/garment type
- If the trousers are branded or carry restricted labels, make sure all marking and labeling are EU-compliant.
Trade benefit / market signal
- The Netherlands imported about $1.13B worth of this product in 2024, so it is a large and active import market.
- India was also among the top exporters globally for this HS code, so the product category is established in trade flows.
If you want, I can also give you:
1. a landed cost formula for this India→Netherlands shipment, or
2. a step-by-step export checklist for customs and shipping.
