HS Code 64034000
Footwear, With A Metal Toe-Cap, Leather Uppers
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 64034000 would be approximately BDT 127,950.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 127.95% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Footwear, With A Metal Toe-Cap, Leather Uppers is classified under HS code 64034000, which sits in heading 6403 (Footwear; with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of leather) of chapter 64 (Footwear, gaiters and the like; parts of such articles).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 40%, 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 127.95%, 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 64034000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 99,974 kg at an assessable value of BDT 38,546,734. That is an average of BDT 386 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,344th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 45 kg worth BDT 73,404 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. Bonded entries account for 0.2% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 64 contains 25 tariff lines, averaging 113.89%. At 127.95%, 64034000 sits above that average by 14.06 percentage points. It is the 1st 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 66.87 points.
Within heading 6403 alone, rates run from 119.38% to 127.95% across 8 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.
This line carries supplementary duty of 40%. Only 1,633 of 7,469 lines carry any SD at all, and because it is charged after customs and regulatory duty, and VAT is then charged on top of it, it affects the total far more than the rate alone suggests.
