Bangladesh is reviewing its tariffs on products imported from the United States. The chief adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said this in a press statement posted on his Facebook post at 8:32am today after the USA announced a 37 percent tariff on imports from Bangladesh as part of President Donald Trump's sweeping new "Reciprocal Tariffs" policy. In his post, the press secretary said the National Board of Revenue is identifying options to rationalise tariffs expeditiously, which is necessary to address the matter.

"The United States is a close friend of Bangladesh and our largest export destination. We have been working with the US since the Trump Administration took over to enhance trade and investment cooperation between our two countries," he said. "Our ongoing work with the US government is expected to help address the tariff issue," he added.
