Dhaka is reviewing its tariffs on products imported from the United States, chief adviser's press secretary Shafiqul Alam said in Facebook post this morning after the latter announced a 37-per cent tariff on imports from the former.

This tariff was close to 15 per cent earlier.

The National Board of Revenue is identifying options to rationalise tariffs expeditiously, which is necessary to address the matter, his post said.

"The United States is a close friend of Bangladesh and our largest export destination. We have been working with the US since the Trump Administration took over to enhance trade and investment cooperation between our two countries," he said.

"Our ongoing work with the US government is expected to help address the tariff issue," he added.
