HS Code 39181000
Floor... Coverings Of Polymers Of Vinyl Chloride, In Rolls Or Tiles
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 39181000 would be approximately BDT 96,100.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 96.1% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Floor... Coverings Of Polymers Of Vinyl Chloride, In Rolls Or Tiles is classified under HS code 39181000, which sits in heading 3918 (Floor coverings of plastics, self-adhesive or not, in rolls or tiles; wall or ceiling coverings of plastics, in rolls of a width not less than 45cm) of chapter 39 (Plastics and articles thereof).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 20%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 96.1%, 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 39181000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 183,045 kg at an assessable value of BDT 51,178,677. That is an average of BDT 280 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,220th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 80,410 kg worth BDT 9,512,778 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 15.7% 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 96.1%, 39181000 sits above that average by 38.55 percentage points. It is the 19th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 35.02 points.
This line carries supplementary duty of 20%. Only 1,633 of 7,469 lines carry any SD at all, and because it is charged after customs and regulatory duty, and VAT is then charged on top of it, it affects the total far more than the rate alone suggests.
