What is the Price of a Knitting Machine in Bangladesh?

In Bangladesh, the price of an industrial knitting machine ranges from $12,000 to $48,000 USD (approximately BDT 15 Lakh to BDT 60 Lakh) depending on whether it is a circular knitting machine, a computerized flat knitting machine, or a specialty socks machine.

For export-oriented composite factories importing via Chittagong Seaport under CFR Chattogram terms with bank Letter of Credit (L/C), capital textile machinery benefits from the National Board of Revenue (NBR) concessional statutory customs duty of only 1% under HS Code 8447.12.

What Determines Knitting Machine Prices in Bangladesh?

Origin & Brand Tier:

- German & European Units (Mayer & Cie, Terrot, Stoll, Shima Seiki): Premium capital cost ($70,000 – $140,000+), generally sourced reconditioned or for specialty luxury mills. - Tier-1 Precision Chinese & Taiwanese Machines (Sourced directly by Tasneem): Outstanding price-to-performance ratio ($18,000 – $34,000 CFR) with Japanese alloy cams, German Groz-Beckert needles, and Delta/Inovance digital inverter controls.

Cylinder Diameter & Feeder Count:

- More feeders (e.g. 108 feeders on a 34" machine) deliver higher RPM and 25% more daily output, commanding a $2,000–$4,000 price increment.

Open-Width Slitter Mechanism:

- An open-width winding module adds approximately $3,000 to $4,500 over a tubular machine, but saves thousands of dollars in fabric edge crease waste.

Customs & Port Costs:

- Capital machinery IRC holders registered with BGMEA or BKMEA pay only 1% Customs Duty (CD), with advance income tax (AIT) and port handling adding approximately 3% to 4% total clearing cost at Chattogram Port.
