HS Code 48052400
TESTLINER(RECYCLED LINER BOARD),WEIGHING 150G/M2 OR LESS
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 48052400 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
TESTLINER(RECYCLED LINER BOARD),WEIGHING 150G/M2 OR LESS is classified under HS code 48052400, which sits in heading 4805 (Uncoated paper and paperboard n.e.c., in rolls or sheets) of chapter 48 (Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or of paperboard).
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 48052400 in 4 of 6 months, totalling 1,457,563 kg at an assessable value of BDT 118,661,458. That is an average of BDT 81 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,274th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 263,563 kg | BDT 23,340,956 | BDT 89 |
| January 2026 | 201,433 kg | BDT 17,764,435 | BDT 88 |

Bonded imports. A further 4,496,341 kg worth BDT 266,536,502 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 69.2% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

Chapter 48 contains 126 tariff lines, averaging 67.51%. At 39.75%, 48052400 sits below that average by 27.76 percentage points. It is the 82nd 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.
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.
