HS Code 62129000
Corsets, Braces, Garters, Suspenders And Similar Articles
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 62129000 would be approximately BDT 104,060.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 104.06% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Corsets, Braces, Garters, Suspenders And Similar Articles is classified under HS code 62129000, which sits in heading 6212 (Brassieres, girdles, corsets, braces, suspenders, garters and similar articles and parts thereof; whether or not knitted or crocheted) of chapter 62 (Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not 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 62129000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 31,054 kg at an assessable value of BDT 14,403,493. That is an average of BDT 464 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,848th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 1,656,422 kg worth BDT 4,302,100,704 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 99.7% 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 62 contains 104 tariff lines, averaging 103.48%. At 104.06%, 62129000 sits above that average by 0.58 percentage points. It is the 21st 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.
Within heading 6212 alone, rates run from 104.06% to 119.38% 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.
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.
