HS Code 40091100
NOT REINFORCED OR OTHERWISE COBINED WITH OTH.MATERIAL WITHOUT FITTINGS
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 40091100 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
NOT REINFORCED OR OTHERWISE COBINED WITH OTH.MATERIAL WITHOUT FITTINGS is classified under HS code 40091100, which sits in heading 4009 (Tubes, pipes and hoses, of vulcanised rubber (other than hard rubber), with or without their fittings (e.g. joints, elbows, flanges)) of chapter 40 (Rubber and articles thereof).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, 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 64.25%, 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 40091100 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 168,120 kg at an assessable value of BDT 73,209,908. That is an average of BDT 435 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,579th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 35,609 kg | BDT 13,021,843 | BDT 366 |
| January 2026 | 10,808 kg | BDT 8,316,812 | BDT 770 |

| March 2026 | 39,173 kg | BDT 16,086,436 | BDT 411 |
| April 2026 | 35,562 kg | BDT 11,833,359 | BDT 333 |

Bonded imports. A further 1 kg worth BDT 614 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 0.0% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 40 contains 88 tariff lines, averaging 46.41%. At 64.25%, 40091100 sits above that average by 17.84 percentage points. It is the 4th 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 3.17 points.
Within heading 4009 alone, rates run from 39.75% to 64.25% across 8 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.
