NBR's import statements also record one code under this heading that the published Operative Tariff 2026-2027 does not list (38249990). 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 2,708,559,132 (11,254,929 kg) entered under the bonded-warehouse regime over the same months — duty-free inputs imported against an undertaking to re-export them. That is 28.6% of the total value imported under this heading.
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.
