HS Code 44041000
Coniferous Hoopwood; Split Poles, Etc; Wooden Sticks, Etc; Chipwood
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 44041000 would be approximately BDT 17,880.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 17.88% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Coniferous Hoopwood; Split Poles, Etc; Wooden Sticks, Etc; Chipwood is classified under HS code 44041000, which sits in heading 4404 (Hoopwood; split poles; piles, pickets, stakes of wood, pointed, not sawn lengthwise; wooden sticks, roughly trimmed, not turned, bent, etc., suitable for walking sticks, umbrellas, tool handles, etc.) of chapter 44 (Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 5%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 0%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 17.88%, 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 February 2026 and April 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 44041000 in 2 of 6 months, totalling 28 kg at an assessable value of BDT 9,357. That is an average of BDT 334 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 3,947th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| February 2026 | 12 kg | BDT 5,061 | BDT 422 |
| April 2026 | 16 kg | BDT 4,296 | BDT 269 |
Bonded imports. A further 8,800 kg worth BDT 2,485,181 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 99.6% 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 44 contains 135 tariff lines, averaging 47.77%. At 17.88%, 44041000 sits below that average by 29.89 percentage points. It is the 112th 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 43.2 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.
