A consignment is held up, and there is one question: which heading do the goods fall under?
A list of HS codes does not answer that. Which goods go where, why they go there, and which ones go elsewhere — that is the explanation you need. HS Note brings it into Bangla, on your phone, with no internet connection.
■ Explanation, not a list
1,221 headings and 4,983 subheading rows across 96 chapters. Each one carries the scope, the identifying test, and a list of what goes elsewhere.
■ Offline, not networked
No internet after install. The whole book opens at the port, in the warehouse, and anywhere the network does not reach.
■ The legal text, not guesswork
Chapter notes and section notes explained in Bangla, with the Bangladesh layer — the First Schedule and the controlling agency.
■ Three ways to search
By HS code, by product name, or by heading. 12,978 index terms are matched to codes.
■ Six working tools
CBM and weight, code check, yarn and fabric counts, fibre blends, thresholds, and comparison — at hand before you fill in a declaration.
■ Who it is for
Customs officers, C&F agents, importers and exporters, the customs desk of a manufacturer, and students reading classification.
■ Reading
Four themes, seven text sizes, adjustable line spacing, bookmarks, and "continue reading".
■ Cost
The whole book is open to everyone — there is no paywall. The app shows ads; a subscription removes them, and the commentary stays the same.
■ On duty rates
CD/SD/VAT/AIT/RD rates change often, so they are not here. This app explains classification.
■ Notice
This is a transformed Bangla commentary on the WCO Harmonized System 2022 Explanatory Notes — not a literal translation, and not a publication of the WCO or the National Board of Revenue. The First Schedule and the applicable law decide a classification; when in doubt, take an Advance Ruling.
