Questions people ask here
What happens when Bangladesh graduates from LDC status in November 2026?
The EU keeps EBA for a three-year transition to 2029, then Bangladesh moves to GSP+. The UK DCTS and Japan have similar transition periods. We update this table the day a schedule changes.
What is the rule of origin for EU preference?
Single-stage: the garment must be made in Bangladesh from fabric of any origin. Japan requires two-stage processing (fabric knitted/woven and garment made in Bangladesh).
Who issues the certificate?
For the EU and UK the exporter issues a REX statement on the invoice. For Japan a certificate of origin from the Export Promotion Bureau. We handle both.
