HS Code 54049000
OTH. SYNTHETIC MONOFILAMENT OF 67 DECITEX OR MORE... (EXCL. MONOFILAMENT)
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 54049000 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
OTH. SYNTHETIC MONOFILAMENT OF 67 DECITEX OR MORE... (EXCL. MONOFILAMENT) is classified under HS code 54049000, which sits in heading 5404 (Synthetic monofilament of 67 decitex or more, of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1mm; strip and the like (e.g. artificial straw) of synthetic textile materials of an apparent width not exceeding 5mm) of chapter 54 (Man-made filaments; strip and the like of man-made textile materials).
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 May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 54049000 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 60,107 kg at an assessable value of BDT 7,790,156. That is an average of BDT 130 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,480th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 1,500 kg | BDT 848,305 | BDT 566 |
| January 2026 | 80 kg | BDT 39,908 | BDT 499 |
| March 2026 | 544 kg | BDT 131,676 | BDT 242 |
| April 2026 | 44,979 kg | BDT 5,181,081 | BDT 115 |
| May 2026 | 13,004 kg | BDT 1,589,186 | BDT 122 |
Bonded imports. A further 124,589 kg worth BDT 47,254,732 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 85.8% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 54 contains 73 tariff lines, averaging 53.5%. At 39.75%, 54049000 sits below that average by 13.75 percentage points. It is the 38th 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.
