Home/Australian Tariffs/From Bangladesh

Importing from Bangladesh into Australia (2026)

Bangladesh is one of Australias most significant sources of ready-made garments, knitwear and woven apparel, with the textiles and clothing sector dominating the trade relationship. As no FTA is in place, importers pay standard MFN duties on all goods, with clothing typically attracting a 10% tariff rate.
