HS Code 59100000
Transmission Or Conveyor Belts Or Belting, Of Textile Material
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 59100000 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Transmission Or Conveyor Belts Or Belting, Of Textile Material is classified under HS code 59100000, which sits in heading 5910 (Textiles; transmission or conveyor belts or belting, of textile material, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics, or reinforced with metal or other material) 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 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 December 2025 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 59100000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 271,315 kg at an assessable value of BDT 120,071,706. That is an average of BDT 443 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,076th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 8,556 kg worth BDT 5,705,766 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 4.5% 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 33.63%, 59100000 sits below that average by 19.05 percentage points. It is the 19th 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.
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.
