HS Code 65061000
Safety Headgear
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 65061000 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Safety Headgear is classified under HS code 65061000, which sits in heading 6506 (Headgear; n.e.c. in chapter 65, whether or not lined or trimmed) of chapter 65 (Headgear and parts thereof).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, 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 64.25%, 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 65061000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 572,042 kg at an assessable value of BDT 268,431,567. That is an average of BDT 469 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,269th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 212 kg worth BDT 381,316 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 0.1% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 65 contains 8 tariff lines, averaging 64.25%. At 64.25%, 65061000 sits almost exactly at that average. 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 3.17 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.
