HS Code 39232910
AIRTIGHT STORAGE BAGS WITH ZIPPER
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 39232910 would be approximately BDT 28,730.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 28.73% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
AIRTIGHT STORAGE BAGS WITH ZIPPER is classified under HS code 39232910, which sits in heading 3923 (Plastic articles for the conveyance or packing of goods; stoppers, lids, caps and other closures of plastics) of chapter 39 (Plastics and articles thereof).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 1%, 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 28.73%, 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 39232910 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 25,185 kg at an assessable value of BDT 8,563,290. That is an average of BDT 340 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,384th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 1,696 kg | BDT 581,238 | BDT 343 |
| January 2026 | 3,031 kg | BDT 907,407 | BDT 299 |
| February 2026 | 4,963 kg | BDT 2,173,261 | BDT 438 |
| March 2026 | 7,778 kg | BDT 2,255,131 | BDT 290 |
| April 2026 | 3,480 kg | BDT 690,224 | BDT 198 |
| May 2026 | 4,237 kg | BDT 1,956,029 | BDT 462 |
Bonded imports. A further 79,940 kg worth BDT 80,421,506 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. That is 90.4% of everything imported under this code. In practice this line is an export input rather than a product entering the domestic market, so the duty rates above apply to only a small fraction of the trade.

How this line compares
Chapter 39 contains 185 tariff lines, averaging 57.55%. At 28.73%, 39232910 sits below that average by 28.82 percentage points. It is the 183rd 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 32.35 points.
Within heading 3923 alone, rates run from 28.73% to 127.95% across 15 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.
