 MBA (EVENING) Program (26-Zg e¨vP)
Admission Test November-2013
Section - I (Question 1 - 40)
Read the following passage and answer the questions (01 - 05) below:
Currently the developed countries, particularly the US, offer duty benefits to 97
percent of the products from the least-developed countries (LDCs). The major
exportable products, however, are excluded, so the LDCs do not enjoy any
meaningful gains from the facility. For instance, Bangladesh's main foreign exchange
earner, readymade garments, is not included in the duty benefit scheme to the
American market; it is subjected to 15-30 percent duty upon entry to the US shores.
In 2012, the country paid $749 million as duty to the US customs for exporting a little
above five billion dollars worth of garments items. Bangladesh, however, was
supposed to enjoy zero-duty benefits on export of all products to the US market, as
per the commitments in the 2005 Ministerial Conference in Hong Kong. "So, we want
inclusion of those 3 percent products in the WTO Ministerial Conference in Bali,”
said Mustafizur Rahman, executie director of Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD). He
also urged the developed countries for expeditious and effective implementation of
the LDC services waiver.
