Sourcing apparel from Bangladesh to Poland
EU duty-free access under EBA for qualifying goods, English-language service, and documents prepared for EU import.
Poland applies the EU common customs rules, so qualifying Bangladesh garments are shown at 0% under the EBA arrangement with a REX statement of origin. Sea freight reaches the EU through a North-European port plus an inland leg; we quote the routing per shipment.

Questions buyers ask
Is Bangladeshi apparel duty-free in Poland?
Poland applies the EU's common tariff, so qualifying Bangladesh garments are shown at 0% under the EBA arrangement with a REX statement of origin. Duty values on this page are illustrative and held for human review; we confirm the rate for your HS code before we cost a programme.
How does sea freight reach Poland?
Usually through a North-European port such as Hamburg and then by road or rail. Port-to-port time is indicative; the inland leg and the carrier schedule decide the delivery date, so we quote the routing per shipment.
Can you support EU forced-labour regulation requests?
We keep factory-level documentation per programme (audits, visit reports, supply-chain documents) and share it on request. What your own filing must contain is for your adviser to confirm.
