## Company Profile CARGO ONE LIMITED (Bangladesh) — freight forwarder and NVOCC-style logistics provider. Listed in BAFFA directory; website http://www.cargoonelimited.com. Lead contact: Md. Rajaul Karim, Managing Director (email: rajaul@cargoonelimited.com). Likely a small-to-mid sized Bangladeshi forwarder operating from Chattogram/ Dhaka, offering container FCL/LCL export bookings, customs clearance coordination, inland haulage to/from Chattogram port and ICDs, and transshipment planning via Colombo/Singapore. Serves RMG exporters and other SME exporters that rely on feeder services to mainline carriers. Scale not publicly disclosed; typical client base is local garment exporters and small manufacturers. ## Pain Points 1) Booking delays and higher all-in freight costs for Chattogram-origin loads: recent Jan–Feb 2026 congestion and a labour strike increased vessel wait times and created a feeder premium, forcing forwarders and exporters to accept longer lead-times or pay up for space. 2) Buyer pressure from tariff shocks and market diversification: US 20% reciprocal tariff and anticipated EU tariff changes are pushing buyers to demand faster, lower‑cost, and higher‑value shipments — exporters need new market access and predictable delivery to retain customers. 3) Compliance & digital capability gap amid NBR ASYCUDA/AEO rollout: exporters must adopt digital documentation and AEO-ready processes to reduce dwell time; forwarders who cannot offer digital/compliance-enabled end-to-end services risk losing clients. ## Intel Summary === MULTI-DIMENSION RESEARCH === === 1. [MARKET EVENTS] – Bangladesh RMG export trends & destination mix (EU, US) into 2026 === **Export growth / contraction into FY 2025–26** - After a strong rebound in 2024 (RMG exports +7.23% y/y to about US$38.48 bn; total RMG ~US$38.8 bn in 2025, +0.89% y/y), growth stalled in calendar 2025 as global demand softened and tariffs/political risks rose.([dhl.com](https://www.dhl.com/discover/en-bd/e-commerce-advice/e-commerce-sector-guides/tips-for-garment-export-from-bangladesh?utm_source=openai)) - In the first half of FY 2025–26 (July–Dec 2025), RMG export earnings **fell 2.63% y/y to US$19.37 bn**.([newsonair.gov.in](https://www.newsonair.gov.in/bangladeshs-ready-made-garment-exports-slowed-across-most-major-markets/?utm_source=openai)) - By July–Jan FY 2025–26, the decline deepened modestly: **US$22.98 bn**, down **2.43% y/y**.([en.bd-pratidin.com](https://en.bd-pratidin.com/economy/2026/02/10/56625?utm_source=openai)) - By July–Feb FY 2025–26, the fall was **3.73% y/y** with RMG exports at **US$25.80 bn**, indicating continued pressure in late 2025/early 2026.([unb.com.bd](https://unb.com.bd/category/Business/rmg-exports-down-37-in-first-8-months-of-fiscal/181372?utm_source=openai)) **Destination market shares & performance (EU, US, others)** - Across recent data (H1 and first 7–8 months of FY 2025–26), the **EU remains the largest regional destination, taking ~49–50% of RMG exports**: - H1 FY 2025–26: EU share **48.84%**, export value **US$9.46 bn**, down **4.14–4.41% y/y**.([newsonair.gov.in](https://www.newsonair.gov.in/bangladeshs-ready-made-garment-exports-slowed-across-most-major-markets/?utm_source=openai)) - July–Jan FY 2025–26: EU share **49.35%** of RMG exports.([en.bd-pratidin.com](https://en.bd-pratidin.com/economy/2026/02/10/56625?utm_source=openai)) - July–Feb FY 2025–26: EU share **49.18%**.([unb.com.bd](https://unb.com.bd/category/Business/rmg-exports-down-37-in-first-8-months-of-fiscal/181372?utm_source=openai)) - The **US remains the largest single-country destination**, but a clear number two after the EU: - In FY 2024–25, US share of RMG exports was **about 19.2%**, with exports to the US **+14% y/y**.([thedailystar.net](https://www.thedailystar.net/business/news/apparel-exports-us-rose-14-fy25-3938066?utm_source=openai)) - Over the **Feb 2025–Jan 2026** 12‑month window, total RMG exports to the US reached **US$7.54 bn**.([en.bd-pratidin.com](https://en.bd-pratidin.com/economy/2026/02/10/56625?utm_source=openai)) - Multiple 2026 reports note that as of H1 FY 2025–26, the US accounts for **“around 20%”** of RMG export earnings.([newagebd.net](https://www.newagebd.net/post/apparel/287474/bangladesh-rmg-exports-lose-ground-in-us-eu?utm_source=openai)) **Recent directional trends by destination (2024 → 2025 → FY 2025–26)** - **2024 & FY 2024–25 (upswing):** - EU: 2015–2024 exports to EU rose **58.45%** to **US$18.27 bn in 2024**;
