HS Code 26219090
OTHER,SLAG&ASH,INCLUDING SEAWEED ASH&RESIDUES FROM THE INCIN.MUNICI.WASTE
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 26219090 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
OTHER,SLAG&ASH,INCLUDING SEAWEED ASH&RESIDUES FROM THE INCIN.MUNICI.WASTE is classified under HS code 26219090, which sits in heading 2621 (Slag and ash n.e.c. in chapter 26; including seaweed ash (kelp) and ash and residues from the incineration of municipal waste) 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.

That is an average of BDT 34 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 3,325th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.
