On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 36069000 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Ferro-Cerium, Pyrophoric Alloys; Articles Of Combustible Materials, Nes is classified under HS code 36069000, which sits in heading 3606 (Ferro-cerium and other pyrophoric alloys in all forms; articles of combustible materials n.e.c. in chapter 36) of chapter 36 (Explosives; pyrotechnic products; matches; pyrophoric alloys; certain combustible preparations).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 10%, 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 39.75%, 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.
