HS Code 68022910
Silex/lining/abrasive/polishing disc
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 68022910 would be approximately BDT 159,800.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 159.8% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Silex/lining/abrasive/polishing disc is classified under HS code 68022910, which sits in heading 6802 (Monumental or building stone, worked (except slate) and articles thereof (not of heading no. 6801) mosaic cubes etc., of natural stone including slate; artificially coloured granules of natural stone) of chapter 68 (Articles of stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica or similar materials).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 60%, 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 159.8%, 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 February 2026 and March 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 68022910 in 2 of 6 months, totalling 88 kg at an assessable value of BDT 725,337. That is an average of BDT 8,242 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In March 2026 it was the 2,922nd largest of 4,054 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 68 contains 54 tariff lines, averaging 78.97%. At 159.8%, 68022910 sits above that average by 80.83 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 98.72 points.
This line carries supplementary duty of 60%. 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.
