HS Code 68101990
Other Tiles,Flagstones,Bricks And Similar Articles (Excl.Railway Sleepers)
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 68101990 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other Tiles,Flagstones,Bricks And Similar Articles (Excl.Railway Sleepers) is classified under HS code 68101990, which sits in heading 6810 (Cement, concrete or artificial stone; whether or not reinforced, articles thereof) 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 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.

That is an average of BDT 203 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 3,224th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.
