HS Code 52095900
Printed Woven Cotton Fabrics, With >=85% Cotton, >200g/M2
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 52095900 would be approximately BDT 80,180.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 80.18% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Printed Woven Cotton Fabrics, With >=85% Cotton, >200g/M2 is classified under HS code 52095900, which sits in heading 5209 (Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing more than 200g/m2) of chapter 52 (Cotton).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 10%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 80.18%, 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 52095900 in 4 of 6 months, totalling 2,322 kg at an assessable value of BDT 840,259. That is an average of BDT 362 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,870th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 5 kg | BDT 3,131 | BDT 626 |
| February 2026 | 46 kg | BDT 17,757 | BDT 386 |
| April 2026 | 2,265 kg | BDT 815,985 | BDT 360 |
| May 2026 | 6 kg | BDT 3,386 | BDT 564 |
Bonded imports. A further 359,589 kg worth BDT 351,700,674 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 99.8% 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.

How this line compares
Chapter 52 contains 125 tariff lines, averaging 60.9%. At 80.18%, 52095900 sits above that average by 19.28 percentage points. It is the 1st most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 19.1 points.
This line carries supplementary duty of 10%. Only 1,633 of 7,469 lines carry any SD at all, and because it is charged after customs and regulatory duty, and VAT is then charged on top of it, it affects the total far more than the rate alone suggests.
