Bangladesh clothing exports to Europe jumped 24 percent in 2015, with the UK being the EU\u2019s second biggest garment export destination for the country after Germany. But the government of the UK has banned imported clothing from Bangladesh due to its concern that there is a lack of proper security measures at the Bangladesh Airport in Dhaka.
\nNow the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association is calling on its government to take the necessary steps to ensure that the ban on air cargo from Dhaka is lifted, soon.\u00a0 The BGMEA president, Md. Siddiqur Rahman, said the ban would harm the industry due to the volume of exports going to the UK.\u00a0 He is asking his government to hold discussions with the UK government to resolve the issue.
\nSome shipments of garments are making it into the UK by way of transit cargo, as long as the shipments were re-screened before continuing on to the UK. However this drives up cost and the time it takes to reach the final destination.
