HS Code 61123900
MEN'S OR BOY'S SWIMWEAR, OF OTHER TEXTILE MATERIALS
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 61123900 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
MEN'S OR BOY'S SWIMWEAR, OF OTHER TEXTILE MATERIALS is classified under HS code 61123900, which sits in heading 6112 (Track suits, ski suits and swimwear; knitted or crocheted) of chapter 61 (Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted).
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 61123900 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 1,428 kg at an assessable value of BDT 444,734. That is an average of BDT 311 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,442nd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 13 kg worth BDT 26,555 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 5.6% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 61 contains 107 tariff lines, averaging 100.43%. At 39.75%, 61123900 sits below that average by 60.68 percentage points. It is the 102nd 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 6112 alone, rates run from 39.75% to 64.25% across 8 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.
