Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 39233010 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Sachet For Medicin,Inhaler Container,Actuators and Dust Caps for Inhaler is classified under HS code 39233010, which sits in heading 3923 (Plastic articles for the conveyance or packing of goods; stoppers, lids, caps and other closures of plastics) of chapter 39 (Plastics and articles thereof).
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.

How this line compares
Chapter 39 contains 185 tariff lines, averaging 57.55%. At 33.63%, 39233010 sits below that average by 23.92 percentage points. It is the 122nd 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 27.45 points.
Within heading 3923 alone, rates run from 28.73% to 127.95% across 15 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.
