What these figures mean
Single Yarn, With >=85% Staple Fibres Of Nylon Or Other Polyamides, Nprs is classified under HS code 55091100, which sits in heading 5509 (Yarn (other than sewing thread) of synthetic staple fibres, not put up for retail sale) of chapter 55 (Man-made staple fibres).
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 55091100 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 6,603 kg at an assessable value of BDT 2,758,326. That is an average of BDT 418 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,142nd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 656,807 kg worth BDT 447,498,293 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 99.4% 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.
