Pakistan textile exporters seek US duty-free access as regional rivals gain tariff edge

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s textile industry on Wednesday urged the government to seek preferential market access from the United States after India and Bangladesh secured improved tariff terms, intensifying competitive pressure on the country’s largest export sector. In a letter to Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan, the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) said recent trade developments risk eroding Pakistan’s export share in its biggest market at a time when the industry is already grappling with high energy costs, elevated interest rates and a difficult business environment.
