HS Code 48063000
Tracing Papers, In Rolls Or Sheets
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 48063000 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Tracing Papers, In Rolls Or Sheets is classified under HS code 48063000, which sits in heading 4806 (Vegetable parchment, greaseproof papers, tracing papers, glassine and other glazed transparent or translucent papers, 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 April 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 48063000 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 15,327 kg at an assessable value of BDT 2,606,402. That is an average of BDT 170 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 3,345th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 3,735 kg | BDT 798,989 | BDT 214 |

Bonded imports. A further 47,344 kg worth BDT 9,635,439 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 78.7% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 48 contains 126 tariff lines, averaging 67.51%. At 39.75%, 48063000 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.
Within heading 4806 alone, rates run from 39.75% to 64.25% across 4 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.
