HS Code 28444310
Other radioactive elements and isotopes and compounds; other alloys,dispersions etc.
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 28444310 would be approximately BDT 27,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 27.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other radioactive elements and isotopes and compounds; other alloys,dispersions etc. is classified under HS code 28444310, which sits in heading 2844 (Radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes (including the fissile or fertile chemical elements and isotopes); and their compounds; mixtures and residues containing these products) of chapter 28 (Inorganic chemicals; compounds of precious metals, rare-earth metals, radioactive elements or isotopes).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 0%, 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 27.5%, 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 28444310 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 1,507 kg at an assessable value of BDT 62,612,901. That is an average of BDT 41,548 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,752nd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 28 contains 200 tariff lines, averaging 38.13%. At 27.5%, 28444310 sits below that average by 10.63 percentage points. It is the 187th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is cheaper than the typical import by 33.58 points.
Within heading 2844 alone, rates run from 27.5% to 39.75% across 11 lines. Classification inside a single heading can change the bill substantially, so confirm the eight-digit code rather than working from the four-digit heading.
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.
