HS Code 39206910
Other polyester in printed form
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 39206910 would be approximately BDT 80,180.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 80.18% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other polyester in printed form is classified under HS code 39206910, which sits in heading 3920 (Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive); non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, n.e.c. in chapter 39) of chapter 39 (Plastics and articles thereof).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 10%, 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 80.18%, 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 39206910 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 7,358 kg at an assessable value of BDT 1,843,674. That is an average of BDT 251 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,971st largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 2,822 kg | BDT 706,947 | BDT 251 |
| January 2026 | 80 kg | BDT 38,126 | BDT 477 |
| February 2026 | 1,747 kg | BDT 458,328 | BDT 262 |
| April 2026 | 1,020 kg | BDT 250,396 | BDT 245 |
| May 2026 | 1,689 kg | BDT 389,877 | BDT 231 |
Bonded imports. A further 5,631 kg worth BDT 1,220,905 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 39.8% 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 80.18%, 39206910 sits above that average by 22.63 percentage points. It is the 33rd 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 19.1 points.
Within heading 3920 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 96.1% across 36 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.
This line carries supplementary duty of 10%. 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.
