HS Code 26140000
Titanium Ores And Concentrates
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 26140000 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Titanium Ores And Concentrates is classified under HS code 26140000, which sits in heading 2614 (Titanium ores and concentrates) of chapter 26 (Ores, slag and ash).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 5%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 33.63%, 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 26140000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 1,360,900 kg at an assessable value of BDT 238,767,128. That is an average of BDT 175 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,129th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is cheaper than the typical import by 27.45 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.
