HS Code 40070000
Vulcanized Rubber Thread And Cord
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 40070000 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Vulcanized Rubber Thread And Cord is classified under HS code 40070000, which sits in heading 4007 (Vulcanised rubber thread and cord) of chapter 40 (Rubber 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 40070000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 82,640 kg at an assessable value of BDT 22,325,439. That is an average of BDT 270 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,351st largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 15,386 kg | BDT 4,355,657 | BDT 283 |
| January 2026 | 27,012 kg | BDT 8,813,757 | BDT 326 |
| February 2026 | 7 kg | BDT 5,967 | BDT 852 |
| March 2026 | 189 kg | BDT 55,403 | BDT 293 |
| April 2026 | 30,014 kg | BDT 7,001,342 | BDT 233 |
| May 2026 | 10,032 kg | BDT 2,093,313 | BDT 209 |
Bonded imports. A further 5,220,545 kg worth BDT 1,818,475,939 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 98.8% 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 40 contains 88 tariff lines, averaging 46.41%. At 33.63%, 40070000 sits below that average by 12.78 percentage points. It is the 58th 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.
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.
