Recorded imports

Between December 2025 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports worth BDT 122,898,643,667 (772,706,250 kg) under this chapter, across 181 of its 185 tariff lines. The remaining 4 recorded no commercial import in that window.

NBR's import statements also record 4 codes under this chapter that the published Operative Tariff 2026-2027 does not list (39191090, 39204929, 39204950, 39209230). Those figures are included in the totals above but have no tariff page here, because there is no published rate to show.

Bonded imports. A further BDT 76,503,365,852 (375,812,450 kg) entered under the bonded-warehouse regime over the same months — duty-free inputs imported against an undertaking to re-export them. That is 38.4% of the total value imported under this chapter.

Import figures: NBR Import Statements (IM-4 commercial, IM-7 bonded), December 2025 – May 2026. Assessable value is the customs value on which duty is charged, not the retail or invoice price.
