HS Code 44089000
Veneer Sheets And Sheets For Plywood Of Other Wood, =<6mm Thick, Nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 44089000 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Veneer Sheets And Sheets For Plywood Of Other Wood, =<6mm Thick, Nes is classified under HS code 44089000, which sits in heading 4408 (Sheets for veneering (including those obtained by slicing laminated wood), for plywood or for similar laminated wood and other wood, sawn lengthwise, sliced or peeled, planed or not, sanded, spliced or end-jointed, of a thickness not exceeding 6 mm) of chapter 44 (Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal).
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 May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 44089000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 1,740,043 kg at an assessable value of BDT 295,330,696. That is an average of BDT 170 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,008th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 2,711 kg worth BDT 1,150,431 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 0.4% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.
