HS Code 39072900
Other polyethers :EXLCUDING Bis (polyoxyethylene) methylphosphonate
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 39072900 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other polyethers :EXLCUDING Bis (polyoxyethylene) methylphosphonate is classified under HS code 39072900, which sits in heading 3907 (Polyacetals, other polyethers and epoxide resins, in primary forms; polycarbonates, alkyd resins, polyallyl esters and other polyesters, in primary forms) of chapter 39 (Plastics and articles thereof).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 5%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 33.63%, 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 39072900 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 13,065,370 kg at an assessable value of BDT 2,724,213,919. That is an average of BDT 209 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 345th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 1,158,245 kg worth BDT 204,841,563 entered under the bonded-warehouse regime in the same period — goods brought in duty-free as inputs on the undertaking that they leave again as exports, which in Bangladesh overwhelmingly means ready-made garments. Bonded entries account for 7.0% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 39 contains 185 tariff lines, averaging 57.55%. At 33.63%, 39072900 sits below that average by 23.92 percentage points. It is the 122nd most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is cheaper than the typical import by 27.45 points.
Within heading 3907 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 39.75% across 11 lines. Classification inside a single heading can change the bill substantially, so confirm the eight-digit code rather than working from the four-digit heading.
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.
