Bicycle exports from Bangladesh are concentrated mostly in three European markets.
(United Kingdom, Germany & Belgium)
The EU in 1993 imposed anti-dumping duties of 30.8 per cent on bicycles manufactured
and exported by China as a penalty till 2016. It created a huge opportunity for
Bangladesh to enter the market with lower price cycle.
EU recently assigned 48.5% anti-dumping duty now in place for China made bikes
exported to the EU member states will not end by 2018.
Bangladesh follows Taiwan, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Indonesia in cycle exports to
Europe.
“The main concerning issue is after 2018 when the penalty will end up”.
