Bangladesh, which already enjoys duty-free access to EU and India for its garments, may also be able to get a similar entry to the US market in near future.

It would give a big boost to the country’s readymade garment (RMG) industry and attract more investment in the sector from the world’s leading economy.

Currently, the US accounts for about 40 percent of the total annual apparel exports of Bangladesh worth US$ 18 billion. The EU accounts for more than half of the country’s garment exports, and the remaining exports are to India, Australia, South Africa, Japan and New Zealand.

A 20-member trade delegation led by AK Azad, President of the Federation of the Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI), recently paid a visit to the US as part of the entourage of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s visit to New York.

"The objective of the delegation was to promote the country’s garment exports in the US," Mr. Murshed Murad Ibrahim, President, The Chittagong Chamber of Commerce & Industry (CCCI), who was a member of the 20-member delegation, told fibre2fashion.

“During our visit, the US trade leaders assured us that we are going to get duty free access for our RMG items to the US market,” Mr. Ibrahim said. “The issue will be first presented before the Office of US Trade Representative. Subsequently, a bill for granting duty-free entry for Bangladeshi apparels to the US market will be placed in the Senate. So, we are very much optimistic that Bangladeshi RMG will get duty free access into the US market very soon,” he added.

Explaining the benefit of duty-free access to Bangladeshi RMG, the CCCI President said, “We are the third largest RMG exporters to the US market. If this bill granting duty-free entry is passed, then Bangladesh will become the centre of interest for the investors.”

“As the US is the world’s largest economy, the duty free access to our RMG products will attract more investors to invest in Bangladeshi RMG sector, and its share in international garment trade would increase. Since RMG is the largest export item for Bangladesh, the whole economy of the country will boost up. There will be more employment and our GDP will rise more than our expectation,” he exclaimed.

孟加拉制造的服装已享受欧盟和印度的免税渠道,很有可能会再获得销往美国的免税通道。如果顺利的话,会带动孟加拉动成品服装工业发展并为该行业吸引更多来自世界领先经济体的投资。
目前,美国市场约有40%的服饰来自孟加拉出口,价值180亿美元。而孟加拉国一半的服饰出口都是到欧盟,其他的则是销往印度、澳大利亚、北非、日本和新西兰。
最近,一个由孟加拉联邦工商业联合会主席,AK Azad带领的20人贸易团队,作为总理哈希纳纽约行的随行人员拜访了美国市场。
“该团队的目标是促进本国在美国的服装出口,”吉大港工商业联合会(CCCI)主席Murshed Murad Ibrahim先生,20人团队成员之一说,“在我们的拜访中,美国的贸易领导人向我们保证会给我们的成品服装一个针对美国市场的免税通道。这个问题会由美国贸易代表处提出。随后,美国对孟加拉制造服饰免税政策的法案会由参议院讨论。因此,我们对于本国的成品服装在美国市场的免税渠道的打开很有信心。”
关于孟加拉成品服装免税通道的利益,CCCI主席说,我们是美国市场第三大成品服装进口国。如果免税通道政策获得通过,那么孟加拉国会成为投资者的投资中心。
“美国作为世界上最大的经济体,我们成品服饰的美国免税通道会吸引更多的投资商,而且我国成品服饰在国际市场上的份额也会增加。作为孟加拉国最主要的出口项目,成品服饰的出口增长会带动孟加拉国整体经济的发展。工作机会会变得更多,孟加拉国自身的GDP也会超常增长。”Murshed Murad Ibrahim主席补充道。
