HS Code 56039300
Nonwovens, Not Of Man-Made Filaments, Weighing >70g/M2 But <=150g/M2
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 56039300 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Nonwovens, Not Of Man-Made Filaments, Weighing >70g/M2 But <=150g/M2 is classified under HS code 56039300, which sits in heading 5603 (Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated) of chapter 56 (Wadding, felt and nonwovens; special yarns; twine, cordage, ropes and cables).
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 56039300 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 5,953 kg at an assessable value of BDT 2,188,587. That is an average of BDT 368 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,623rd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 1,111 kg | BDT 355,225 | BDT 320 |
| January 2026 | 7 kg | BDT 5,009 | BDT 716 |
| March 2026 | 1,534 kg | BDT 482,105 | BDT 314 |
| April 2026 | 1,062 kg | BDT 206,103 | BDT 194 |
| May 2026 | 2,239 kg | BDT 1,140,145 | BDT 509 |
Bonded imports. A further 384,515 kg worth BDT 239,965,760 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 99.1% 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 56 contains 39 tariff lines, averaging 68.21%. At 64.25%, 56039300 sits below that average by 3.96 percentage points. It is the 3rd 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.
Within heading 5603 alone, rates run from 58.13% to 64.25% across 12 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.
