HS Code 60032000
KNITTED OR CROCHETED FABRICS OF A WIDTH <30CM.. OF COTTON
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 60032000 would be approximately BDT 80,180.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 80.18% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
KNITTED OR CROCHETED FABRICS OF A WIDTH <30CM.. OF COTTON is classified under HS code 60032000, which sits in heading 6003 (Fabrics; knitted or crocheted fabrics, other than those of heading 60.01 and 60.02, of a width not exceeding 30 cm,) of chapter 60 (Knitted or crocheted fabrics).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 10%, 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 80.18%, 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 60032000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 238 kg at an assessable value of BDT 68,321. That is an average of BDT 287 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,786th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 110 kg | BDT 20,226 | BDT 184 |
| January 2026 | 27 kg | BDT 8,294 | BDT 307 |
| February 2026 | 5 kg | BDT 3,112 | BDT 622 |
| March 2026 | 17 kg | BDT 8,940 | BDT 526 |
| April 2026 | 51 kg | BDT 21,010 | BDT 412 |
| May 2026 | 28 kg | BDT 6,739 | BDT 241 |
Bonded imports. A further 103,631 kg worth BDT 59,761,667 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 99.9% 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 60 contains 45 tariff lines, averaging 79.23%. At 80.18%, 60032000 sits above that average by 0.95 percentage points. It is the 1st 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 19.1 points.
This line carries supplementary duty of 10%. Only 1,633 of 7,469 lines carry any SD at all, and because it is charged after customs and regulatory duty, and VAT is then charged on top of it, it affects the total far more than the rate alone suggests.
