HS Code 56089000
Knotted netting of twine, cordage or rope of textile materials, nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 56089000 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Knotted netting of twine, cordage or rope of textile materials, nes is classified under HS code 56089000, which sits in heading 5608 (Twine, cordage or rope; knotted netting, made up fishing nets and other made up nets, of textile materials) 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 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 56089000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 252,547 kg at an assessable value of BDT 56,188,580. That is an average of BDT 222 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,509th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 9,407 kg | BDT 2,539,542 | BDT 270 |
| January 2026 | 61,455 kg | BDT 15,378,898 | BDT 250 |
| February 2026 | 13,373 kg | BDT 3,415,345 | BDT 255 |
| March 2026 | 37,903 kg | BDT 9,504,694 | BDT 251 |
| April 2026 | 73,777 kg | BDT 14,700,882 | BDT 199 |
| May 2026 | 56,632 kg | BDT 10,649,219 | BDT 188 |
Bonded imports. A further 199 kg worth BDT 479,620 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. Bonded entries account for 0.8% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 56 contains 39 tariff lines, averaging 68.21%. At 39.75%, 56089000 sits below that average by 28.46 percentage points. It is the 27th 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 21.33 points.
Within heading 5608 alone, rates run from 28.73% to 39.75% 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.
