HS Code 40121300
OF A KIND USED ON AIRCRAFT
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 40121300 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
OF A KIND USED ON AIRCRAFT is classified under HS code 40121300, which sits in heading 4012 (Retreaded or used pneumatic tyres of rubber; solid or cushion tyres, tyre treads and tyre flaps, of rubber) of chapter 40 (Rubber and articles thereof).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 64.25%, 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
NBR recorded no commercial imports under 40121300 between December 2025 and May 2026. That is not unusual — roughly a third of the 7,469 lines in the schedule saw no commercial import in that window. Goods may still have entered under a bonded-warehouse regime, or been declared under a neighbouring code.
Bonded imports. A further 4,396 kg worth BDT 4,676,965 entered under the bonded-warehouse regime in the same period — goods brought in duty-free as inputs on the undertaking that they leave again as exports, which in Bangladesh overwhelmingly means ready-made garments. That is 100.0% of everything imported under this code. In practice this line is an export input rather than a product entering the domestic market, so the duty rates above apply to only a small fraction of the trade.

How this line compares
Chapter 40 contains 88 tariff lines, averaging 46.41%. At 64.25%, 40121300 sits above that average by 17.84 percentage points. It is the 4th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 3.17 points.
Within heading 4012 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 64.25% across 7 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.
