Recorded imports
Between December 2025 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports worth BDT 2,577,522,706 (1,725,377 kg) under this heading, across 13 of its 13 tariff lines.
NBR's import statements also record 2 codes under this heading that the published Operative Tariff 2026-2027 does not list (85366910, 85366990). Those figures are included in the totals above but have no tariff page here, because there is no published rate to show.
