HS Code 53081000
Coir Yarn
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 53081000 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Coir Yarn is classified under HS code 53081000, which sits in heading 5308 (Yarn of other vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn) of chapter 53 (Other vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn and woven fabrics of paper yarn).
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 March 2026 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 53081000 in 3 of 6 months, totalling 23,088 kg at an assessable value of BDT 705,470. That is an average of BDT 31 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,879th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| March 2026 | 8 kg | BDT 6,259 | BDT 782 |
| April 2026 | 8,280 kg | BDT 152,447 | BDT 18 |
| May 2026 | 14,800 kg | BDT 546,764 | BDT 37 |
Bonded imports. A further 80 kg worth BDT 25,040 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 3.4% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 53 contains 25 tariff lines, averaging 50.48%. At 39.75%, 53081000 sits below that average by 10.73 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 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.
