HS Code 42032900
Gloves, Mittens And Mitts Nes, Of Leather Excl. For Sports
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 42032900 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Gloves, Mittens And Mitts Nes, Of Leather Excl. For Sports is classified under HS code 42032900, which sits in heading 4203 (Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, of leather or of composition leather) of chapter 42 (Articles of leather; saddlery and harness; travel goods, handbags; articles of animal gut).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 10%, 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 39.75%, 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.

That is an average of BDT 324 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,118th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 42 contains 22 tariff lines, averaging 76.83%. At 39.75%, 42032900 sits below that average by 37.08 percentage points. It is the 17th 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 21.33 points.
Within heading 4203 alone, rates run from 39.75% to 96.1% across 5 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.
