Watches & clocks: Bangladesh import duty
61 lines, median 37% TTI — one of the mildest consumer categories, which is why fashion-watch importing has stayed popular. Wrist-watches, including smart-adjacent ones, mostly sit at 37–58.6%; specialised diving watches enter at just 5%.
These are the official rates — not what you pay with CIEF.
