HS Code 84452000
Textile Spinning Machines
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 84452000 would be approximately BDT 13,580.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 13.58% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Textile Spinning Machines is classified under HS code 84452000, which sits in heading 8445 (Textile machinery; spinning, doubling, twisting machines, textile reeling or winding machines and machines for preparing textile yarns for use on machines of heading no. 8446 and 8447) of chapter 84 (Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 1%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 0%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 13.58%, 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 84452000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 1,034,644 kg at an assessable value of BDT 1,109,245,355. That is an average of BDT 1,072 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 419th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 106,828 kg | BDT 37,221,599 | BDT 348 |
| January 2026 | 162,537 kg | BDT 327,733,418 | BDT 2,016 |
| February 2026 | 60,604 kg | BDT 105,106,196 | BDT 1,734 |
| March 2026 | 251,406 kg | BDT 407,507,361 | BDT 1,621 |
| April 2026 | 164,146 kg | BDT 121,381,164 | BDT 739 |

Bonded imports. A further 205,918 kg worth BDT 244,802,584 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 18.1% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 84 contains 648 tariff lines, averaging 35.59%. At 13.58%, 84452000 sits below that average by 22.01 percentage points. It is the 600th 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 47.5 points.
Within heading 8445 alone, rates run from 12.5% to 13.58% 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.
