Woven Clothing from France Tariff: 15% (2026)

Effective Rate

The United States imports substantial quantities of woven clothing from France, with approximately $90B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for woven clothing from France reflects the EU-US trade deal effective July 1, 2026: a flat 15% all-inclusive ceiling with no stacking (MFN rates of 15%+ pay MFN only). It caps a volatile 18 months — IEEPA rates struck down by the Supreme Court on February 20, 2026, then a 10% Section 122 bridge from February 24, then the deal rate.

Unlike the temporary Section 122 tariff (which expires approximately July 24, 2026 for non-EU countries), the EU deal's 15% ceiling has no built-in sunset. The next scheduled change comes September 1, 2026, when aircraft and aircraft parts, generic pharmaceuticals plus their ingredients and precursors, and unavailable natural resources (such as cork) from the EU revert to MFN-only rates.

Woven Clothing (HTS Chapter 62) carry an average MFN duty rate of 12%, which is absorbed into — not added on top of — the EU deal's 15% all-inclusive ceiling. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from France.

Key products in HTS Chapter 62 imported from France include Suits and blazers, Dress shirts, Trousers, Dresses, Jackets and coats, and Skirts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current tariff rate on woven clothing from France?

As of July 2026, woven clothing from France fall under the EU-US trade deal's 15% all-inclusive ceiling (effective July 1, 2026). Nothing stacks on top — goods with MFN rates below 15% pay 15% total, and goods with MFN rates of 15% or higher pay MFN only. The effective rate is about 15% on the most-affected products.

Will the tariff on woven clothing from France change?

Unlike the temporary Section 122 tariff on non-EU countries (which expires approximately July 24, 2026), the EU deal's 15% ceiling has no built-in expiration. The next scheduled change is September 1, 2026, when EU aircraft and aircraft parts, generic pharmaceuticals plus their ingredients and precursors, and unavailable natural resources revert to MFN-only rates.

How did 2026's tariff changes affect woven clothing imports from France?

Three regimes in one year: the Supreme Court struck down IEEPA reciprocal tariffs on February 20, 2026; a 10% Section 122 tariff bridged February 24 through June 30; and the EU-US trade deal's 15% all-inclusive ceiling took effect July 1, 2026. In exchange, the EU eliminated its duties on US industrial goods the same day.
