HS Code 55093100
Single Yarn, With >=85% Acrylic Or Modacrylic Staple Fibres, Nprs
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 55093100 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Single Yarn, With >=85% Acrylic Or Modacrylic Staple Fibres, Nprs is classified under HS code 55093100, 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 February 2026 and March 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 55093100 in 2 of 6 months, totalling 13 kg at an assessable value of BDT 8,388. That is an average of BDT 645 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In March 2026 it was the 3,986th largest of 4,054 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| February 2026 | 11 kg | BDT 6,885 | BDT 626 |
| March 2026 | 2 kg | BDT 1,503 | BDT 752 |
Bonded imports. A further 975,481 kg worth BDT 456,203,850 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 over 99.9% 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.
