HS Code 59061000
Adhesive Tape Of A Width =<20cm
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 59061000 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Adhesive Tape Of A Width =<20cm is classified under HS code 59061000, which sits in heading 5906 (Textile fabrics, rubberised; other than those of heading no. 5902) 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 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 59061000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 6,047 kg at an assessable value of BDT 4,094,807. That is an average of BDT 677 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,540th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 1,833 kg | BDT 1,650,781 | BDT 901 |
| January 2026 | 1,747 kg | BDT 584,069 | BDT 334 |
| February 2026 | 2,241 kg | BDT 1,757,200 | BDT 784 |
| March 2026 | 20 kg | BDT 23,350 | BDT 1,168 |
| April 2026 | 101 kg | BDT 41,194 | BDT 408 |
| May 2026 | 105 kg | BDT 38,213 | BDT 364 |
Bonded imports. A further 59,181 kg worth BDT 177,121,994 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 97.7% 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 59 contains 29 tariff lines, averaging 52.68%. At 39.75%, 59061000 sits below that average by 12.93 percentage points. It is the 17th 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 5906 alone, rates run from 39.75% to 64.25% across 4 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.
