HS Code 56074910
Twine,Cordage,Rope&Cables,Of Polyethylene/Polypropy. For Fishing Trawlers
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 56074910 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Twine,Cordage,Rope&Cables,Of Polyethylene/Polypropy. For Fishing Trawlers is classified under HS code 56074910, which sits in heading 5607 (Twine, cordage, ropes and cables, whether or not plaited or braided; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber or plastics) 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 5%, 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 33.63%, 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 January 2026 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 56074910 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 1,046 kg at an assessable value of BDT 871,269. That is an average of BDT 833 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,375th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| January 2026 | 6 kg | BDT 9,265 | BDT 1,544 |
| February 2026 | 14 kg | BDT 7,009 | BDT 501 |
| March 2026 | 873 kg | BDT 766,217 | BDT 878 |
| April 2026 | 12 kg | BDT 2,946 | BDT 246 |
| May 2026 | 141 kg | BDT 85,832 | BDT 609 |
Bonded imports. A further 3,604 kg worth BDT 9,495,651 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 91.6% 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 33.63%, 56074910 sits below that average by 34.58 percentage points. It is the 37th 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 27.45 points.
Within heading 5607 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 39.75% across 7 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.
