BGMEA and AmCham Bangladesh have welcomed the signing of a reciprocal tariff pact with the US, terming it as a positive development for the apparel sector.
Garments manufactured using US inputs will be exempt from such tariffs and that will improve Bangladesh’s market access to the US, BGMEA noted.
The provision can encourage deeper supply-chain integration and promote value addition, AmCham said.

The funding round, which comprised a mix of equity and debt, also saw participation from Zephyr Peacock along with existing investors Jungle Ventures, Accion Ventures and NBD Ventures. The company plans to deploy the capital to enhance and scale its platform, expand its reach to a wider customer base and market segments, enhance its supply chain, and drive other growth initiatives.
