HS Code 96110000
Date, Sealing Or Numbering Stamps, Etc, For Use In The Hand....Sticks
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 96110000 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Date, Sealing Or Numbering Stamps, Etc, For Use In The Hand....Sticks is classified under HS code 96110000, which sits in heading 9611 (Stamps; date, numbering, sealing stamps and the like (including devices for printing or embossing labels), designed for operating by hand; hand operated composing sticks and printing sets) of chapter 96 (Miscellaneous manufactured articles).
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 96110000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 76,378 kg at an assessable value of BDT 43,067,866. That is an average of BDT 564 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,299th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 7 kg worth BDT 273,120 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 0.6% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 96 contains 54 tariff lines, averaging 60.67%. At 64.25%, 96110000 sits above that average by 3.58 percentage points. It is the 7th 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.
