Bangladesh's EU duty-free access runs on Everything But Arms — which ends after an LDC-graduation transition, at least until end-2029 on the current schedule. Enter your annual EU-bound Bangladesh FOB and see what each realistic scenario would add to your duty line, next to Turkey's permanent 0%. In your browser, no sign-up.
Planning tool, not a customs ruling. Default rates — 12% MFN on typical knitted garments (HS chapter 61) and the Standard GSP 20% reduction giving 9.6% — were verified against Regulation (EU) 2026/1395 and Access2Markets in July 2026, but your exact commodity codes govern: edit the rate fields with your real lines. Duty is legally charged on the customs value (roughly FOB + freight/insurance to the EU border), so real bills land slightly above these FOB-based figures. Timing depends on the UN graduation decision and the EBA transition — nothing here applies before that transition ends. Confirm decisions with your customs broker.
Bangladesh keeps EBA 0% through the transition — at least until end-2029, later if the UN defers graduation in its expected September 2026 decision. This tool prices what comes after, so you can plan before it lands.
Your true exposure is a range from 0 (GSP+ granted) to the MFN figure (no preference). If that range is small next to your margin, file the issue. If it is a six-figure swing, it belongs on your sourcing agenda now.
The UK's DCTS is set to keep Bangladeshi garments duty-free after graduation, so UK-bound orders carry no equivalent exposure on current policy. Splitting your book EU vs UK is step one of the hedge.
The A.TR row is not a preference scheme that can lapse — it is the EU–Türkiye Customs Union, the permanent architecture of the trade lane. That is why a Turkey lane works as a duty hedge rather than another scheme to monitor.
The full timeline — graduation dates, the deferral question, GSP+ conditions and a sourcing-hedge checklist — is in our Bangladesh LDC graduation guide. For the mechanics of the Turkey lane itself, see importing knitwear from Turkey to the UK and our pricing page.
The EU's MFN (third-country) duty on most knitted garments in HS chapter 61 is 12% ad valorem, and under the EU's Standard GSP the ad valorem duty on textiles and clothing is reduced by 20% — which turns a 12% line into 9.6%. Both figures were checked against the new GSP Regulation (EU) 2026/1395 and Access2Markets in July 2026. Your exact commodity code may differ, which is why both rate fields are editable — look your lines up on Access2Markets or ask your broker, then type in the real rates.
Not before the end of the EBA transition. Bangladesh keeps Everything But Arms 0% access for three years after LDC graduation — at least until the end of 2029 on the current schedule, and later if the UN defers graduation (a decision expected around September 2026). This calculator models the scenarios that follow that transition; it is a planning tool, not a statement that duties apply today.
No — and that distinction matters. Under the UK's Developing Countries Trading Scheme as it stands, Bangladesh is set to keep duty-free access for garments after graduation via the Enhanced Preferences tier. Enter only the share of your Bangladesh programme that clears customs in the EU. UK-bound volume has no equivalent duty exposure on current policy.
Because GSP+ suspends duties entirely on covered products, garments included. But GSP+ is an application-based scheme conditional on ratifying and effectively implementing 32 international conventions, with ongoing monitoring — Bangladesh's qualification is plausible (the new regulation removed its main structural obstacle) but not guaranteed. Treat the 0% row as an upside scenario, not the baseline.
Strictly, EU customs duty is charged on the customs value, which is broadly the price of the goods plus transport and insurance to the EU border — usually a few percent above FOB. This calculator uses your FOB figure as a slightly conservative proxy to keep the input simple; your real duty bill would land marginally higher. For a precise landed-cost model, work with your broker on your actual customs values.
