HS Code 55061000
Synt.Staple Fibres,Of Nylon Or Other Polyamides,Carded,Combed Or Processed
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 55061000 would be approximately BDT 12,880.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 12.88% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Synt.Staple Fibres,Of Nylon Or Other Polyamides,Carded,Combed Or Processed is classified under HS code 55061000, which sits in heading 5506 (Synthetic staple fibres, carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning) of chapter 55 (Man-made staple fibres).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 5%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 0%, Advance Income Tax of 0%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 12.88%, 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 55061000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 170 kg at an assessable value of BDT 490,243. That is an average of BDT 2,884 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 4,009th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|

| January 2026 | 33 kg | BDT 57,675 | BDT 1,748 |
| February 2026 | 60 kg | BDT 26,600 | BDT 443 |
| March 2026 | 12 kg | BDT 46,605 | BDT 3,884 |

Bonded imports. A further 42,093 kg worth BDT 19,519,571 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 97.5% 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 55 contains 113 tariff lines, averaging 62%. At 12.88%, 55061000 sits below that average by 49.12 percentage points. It is the 107th 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 48.2 points.
Within heading 5506 alone, rates run from 7.5% to 33.63% across 5 lines. Classification inside a single heading can change the bill substantially, so confirm the eight-digit code rather than working from the four-digit heading.
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.
