HS Code 05010000
Human Hair And Waste, Unworked
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 05010000 would be approximately BDT 15,000.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 15% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Human Hair And Waste, Unworked is classified under HS code 05010000, which sits in heading 0501 (Human hair; unworked, whether or not washed or scoured; waste of human hair) of chapter 05 (Products of animal origin, not elsewhere specified).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 10%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 0%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 0%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 15%, which is the figure to multiply by the assessable value of your consignment.
The assessable value is normally the CIF value of the goods plus landing charges. Duties and taxes are applied in a defined order rather than simply added together, which is why the TTI is not the plain sum of the individual rates.
Recorded imports
Between December 2025 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 05010000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 425,962 kg at an assessable value of BDT 539,487,741. That is an average of BDT 1,267 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,100th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares

Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is cheaper than the typical import by 46.08 points.
No supplementary duty applies here, which is the normal case — SD is zero on 78% of the tariff. Where it does apply it usually dominates every other component.
