“Mozena vs Tofail: Who pays for US tariff on Bangladesh's garment export?” (Nov. 16, 2014)

Another equation is that the US importer is paying tax on RMG from Bangladesh and then passes it on to the end customer. The end customer also pays sales tax. So, the ambassador is technically correct from a taxation point of view. But in reality Bangladeshi RMG manufacturers are forced to sell at a lower price and the buyer dictates the terms. Tofail needs to do some pricing homework to explain it better.
