HS Code 42060090
Articles of gut (excl. silk-worm), goldbeater's skin, bladders, nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 42060090 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Articles of gut (excl. silk-worm), goldbeater's skin, bladders, nes is classified under HS code 42060090, which sits in heading 4206 (Articles of gut (other than silk-worm gut), of goldbeater's skin, of bladders or of tendons) 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.
Recorded imports
Between December 2025 and March 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 42060090 in 3 of 6 months, totalling 134 kg at an assessable value of BDT 3,113,751. That is an average of BDT 23,237 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In March 2026 it was the 3,155th largest of 4,054 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 105 kg | BDT 953,131 | BDT 9,077 |
| February 2026 | 28 kg | BDT 1,825,174 | BDT 65,185 |
| March 2026 | 1 kg | BDT 335,446 | BDT 335,446 |
Bonded imports. A further 1,802 kg worth BDT 7,049,114 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 69.4% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 42 contains 22 tariff lines, averaging 76.83%. At 39.75%, 42060090 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 4206 alone, rates run from 28.73% to 39.75% across 2 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.
