Worked example

On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 16056900 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.

What these figures mean

Other aquatic invertebrates : is classified under HS code 16056900, which sits in heading 1605 (Crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, prepared or preserved) of chapter 16 (Preparations of meat, of fish, crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates).

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

NBR recorded no commercial imports under 16056900 between December 2025 and May 2026. That is not unusual — roughly a third of the 7,469 lines in the schedule saw no commercial import in that window. Goods may still have entered under a bonded-warehouse regime, or been declared under a neighbouring code.

Import figures: NBR Import Statements (IM-4 commercial), December 2025 – May 2026. Assessable value is the customs value on which duty is charged, not the retail or invoice price.

Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 3.17 points.
