HS Code 51072000
Yarn Of Combed Wool, Not Put Up For Retail Sale, With <85% Wool
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 51072000 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Yarn Of Combed Wool, Not Put Up For Retail Sale, With <85% Wool is classified under HS code 51072000, which sits in heading 5107 (Yarn of combed wool, not put up for retail sale) of chapter 51 (Wool, fine or coarse animal hair; horsehair yarn and woven fabric).
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 March 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 51072000 in 3 of 6 months, totalling 438 kg at an assessable value of BDT 262,681. That is an average of BDT 600 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In March 2026 it was the 3,680th largest of 4,054 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 210 kg | BDT 120,288 | BDT 573 |
| January 2026 | 187 kg | BDT 117,322 | BDT 627 |
| March 2026 | 41 kg | BDT 25,071 | BDT 611 |
Bonded imports. A further 314,328 kg worth BDT 576,111,555 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. That is over 99.9% of everything imported under this code. In practice this line is an export input rather than a product entering the domestic market, so the duty rates above apply to only a small fraction of the trade.
