The Generalized System of Preferences (known as GSP for short) is a scheme whereby
a wide range of industrial and agricultural products originating in certain developing
countries are given preferential access to the markets of the European Union.
Preferential treatment is given in the form of reduced or zero rates of customs duties.
The GSP scheme is specifically designed to benefit certain developing countries and
integrate them into the world economy.
Since 1971, the EU has had rules ensuring that exporters from developing countries
pay lower duties on some or all of what they sell to the EU. This gives them vital access
to EU markets contributing to the growth of their economies. This scheme is known as
the "Generalized System of Preferences".
Today Bangladesh offers a very flexible and feasible production base for its customers
in EU, America and Australia. The EU market is quota free for apparels and goods are
eligible for the GSP facilities. As an LDC member Bangladesh also obtain special Tariff
benefit from Canada (18% import Tax free).
