HS Code 59050000
Textile Wall Coverings
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 59050000 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Textile Wall Coverings is classified under HS code 59050000, which sits in heading 5905 (Textile wall coverings) of chapter 59 (Impregnated, coated, covered or laminated textile fabrics; textile articles for industrial use).
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 March 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 59050000 in 2 of 6 months, totalling 212 kg at an assessable value of BDT 44,418. That is an average of BDT 210 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In March 2026 it was the 3,746th largest of 4,054 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 81 kg | BDT 29,176 | BDT 360 |
| March 2026 | 131 kg | BDT 15,242 | BDT 116 |
Bonded imports. A further 47 kg worth BDT 52,104 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 54.0% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 59 contains 29 tariff lines, averaging 52.68%. At 64.25%, 59050000 sits above that average by 11.57 percentage points. It is the 4th 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.
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.
