US tariff on Indian textiles stands at 18% compared with Bangladesh's zero, opposition leader slams commerce minister
The US has signed a trade deal with Bangladesh, offering zero tariffs on textiles made with US cotton or man-made fiber. This contrasts sharply with an 18% tariff on Indian textiles under a separate pact, drawing criticism from India's opposition. Bangladesh also secured reduced tariffs on other apparel, with the US market remaining its largest export destination.
