HS Code 47072000
Recovered (Waste/Scrap) Other Paper/Paperboard Of Bleached Chemical Pulp
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 47072000 would be approximately BDT 24,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 24.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Recovered (Waste/Scrap) Other Paper/Paperboard Of Bleached Chemical Pulp is classified under HS code 47072000, which sits in heading 4707 (Waste and scrap of paper and paperboard) of chapter 47 (Pulp of wood or other fibrous cellulosic material; recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 0%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 2%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 24.5%, 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 47072000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 5,426,760 kg at an assessable value of BDT 372,512,348. That is an average of BDT 69 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,486th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
