HS Code 54072000
Woven Fabrics Obtained From Synthetic Strip Or The Like
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 54072000 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Woven Fabrics Obtained From Synthetic Strip Or The Like is classified under HS code 54072000, which sits in heading 5407 (Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading no. 5404) 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 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, 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 64.25%, 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 54072000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 33,590 kg at an assessable value of BDT 10,480,961. That is an average of BDT 312 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,691st largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 33,153 kg worth BDT 61,920,000 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 85.5% 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 64.25%, 54072000 sits above that average by 10.75 percentage points. It is the 10th 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 3.17 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.
