HS Code 61171000
SHAWLS, SCARVES, MUFFLERS, MANTILLAS, VEILS AND THE LIKE
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 61171000 would be approximately BDT 104,060.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 104.06% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
SHAWLS, SCARVES, MUFFLERS, MANTILLAS, VEILS AND THE LIKE is classified under HS code 61171000, which sits in heading 6117 (Clothing accessories; made up, knitted or crocheted, knitted or crocheted parts of garments or of clothing accessories) 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 25%, Supplementary Duty of 30%, 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 104.06%, 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 61171000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 4,590 kg at an assessable value of BDT 1,834,475. That is an average of BDT 400 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,258th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 4,911 kg worth BDT 3,216,873 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 63.7% 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 104.06%, 61171000 sits above that average by 3.63 percentage points. It is the 6th 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 42.98 points.
This line carries supplementary duty of 30%. 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.
