HS Code 49059000
Maps and hydrographic or similar charts of all kinds, including atlases,...NES
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 49059000 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Maps and hydrographic or similar charts of all kinds, including atlases,...NES is classified under HS code 49059000, which sits in heading 4905 (Maps and hydrographic or similar charts of all kinds, including atlases, wall maps, topographical plans and globes, printed) of chapter 49 (Printed books, newspapers, pictures and other products of the printing industry; manuscripts and plans).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 5%, 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 33.63%, 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 49059000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 6,530 kg at an assessable value of BDT 1,746,090. That is an average of BDT 267 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,508th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 245 kg worth BDT 720,937 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 29.2% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 49 contains 24 tariff lines, averaging 49.69%. At 33.63%, 49059000 sits below that average by 16.06 percentage points. It is the 15th 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 27.45 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.
