Bangladesh's new import policy for 2026-2029 allows textile and apparel manufacturers more sourcing flexibility by removing previous import value limits, expanding Free of Cost import facilities, and introducing Central Bonded Warehouses. It also emphasises local value addition and integrates with global trade agreements to enhance competitiveness post-LDC graduation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Textile & Apparel.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now negotiate payments and source inputs without old limits restricting your deals. Manufacturers in Bangladesh’s apparel sector must strengthen their controls to manage new risks and tap this chance to cut costs and speed up sourcing.
