Bangladesh Tariff Rates 2026: 10% on US Imports
As of 2026-06-14, US imports from Bangladesh carry an effective tariff of about 10%. This combines the 10% Section 122 baseline applied to all countries, with Section 232 metals tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum charged separately. The rate fell from 37% after the Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs in February 2026, so importers who paid the higher rate between April 2025 and February 2026 may qualify for refunds. The 10% Section 122 tariff was ruled unlawful by the Court of International Trade in May 2026, but a Federal Circuit stay is keeping it in force pending appeal; absent that, it is set to expire around July 24, 2026.

Bangladesh Import Tariff Overview
Bangladesh saw a dramatic tariff reduction from 37% (IEEPA) to 10% under Section 122 following the Feb 20, 2026 SCOTUS ruling — a 27-point drop that transforms the economics of Bangladeshi garment sourcing. US imports from Bangladesh total approximately $9B annually, with apparel and garments comprising roughly 90% of the total.
Bangladesh is the world's second-largest garment exporter (after China) and the US is its largest market. There is no bilateral FTA, and Bangladesh was removed from GSP eligibility in 2013 following the Rana Plaza factory collapse, though reinstatement discussions have occurred. The trade relationship is almost entirely defined by the ready-made garment sector, which employs over 4 million workers in Bangladesh.
Key Products Imported from Bangladesh
Top imports are dominated by apparel and garments, including knit shirts, trousers, jackets, and woven garments. Other imports include home textiles, jute products, leather goods, and seafood (shrimp). The garment sector accounts for roughly 90% of Bangladesh's exports to the US.
Recent Changes
Feb 20, 2026: SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs 6-3 — Bangladesh's rate plunged from 37% to 10% Section 122 (effective Feb 24, expires ~July 24, 2026). A 27-point reduction that is transformative for the garment sector, where margins are thin. Section 232 metals tariffs apply at 50% on articles wholly of steel/aluminum and 25% on derivative products (both on full customs value, after the April 6, 2026 restructuring). Bangladesh's workplace safety reforms under the International Accord continue strengthening its trade reputation. GSP reinstatement discussions remain ongoing but have not concluded.
Tips for Importers
The 27-point tariff reduction is a game-changer for garment sourcing from Bangladesh. Total landed cost for apparel is now approximately 10% Section 122 plus ~16.5% MFN apparel duties (~26.5% combined) — dramatically lower than the old 37% + 16.5% (~53.5%). Bangladesh is now on a level tariff playing field with Vietnam, India, and Cambodia (all at 10% Section 122), so competition shifts to labor costs, capacity, and compliance. Ensure your supply chain meets labor and safety standards — CBP scrutinizes forced labor under the UFLPA. First-sale valuation remains valuable for reducing dutiable value. Plan for the Section 122 expiry (~July 24, 2026), and note the 10% layer is under active legal challenge (the Court of International Trade ruled it unlawful May 7, 2026; the Federal Circuit stayed that ruling June 11, 2026, so CBP keeps collecting pending appeal): if it lapses or is struck down, Bangladeshi garments would face only MFN rates, the most favorable treatment in years.
How Are US Tariffs on Bangladesh Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Bangladesh are determined by multiple overlapping tariff authorities. The base layer is the Section 122 tariff at 10%, which applies to all countries and is set to expire around July 24, 2026. (The Court of International Trade ruled this tariff unlawful in May 2026; it remains collected under a Federal Circuit stay while the government’s appeal proceeds.) Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, regardless of the Section 122 rate.

Already importing from Bangladesh? If you paid the higher pre-SCOTUS IEEPA rate in 2025, you may be able to claim an IEEPA tariff refund. And if you re-export or manufacture with imported goods, duty drawback can recover up to 99% of the duties you paid — both are separate from the rates above.
