HS Code 68151200
Articles of stone or of other mineral substance ...Fabrics of carbon fibres
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 68151200 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Articles of stone or of other mineral substance ...Fabrics of carbon fibres is classified under HS code 68151200, which sits in heading 6815 (Stone or other mineral substances; articles thereof (including carbon fibres, articles of carbon fibres and articles of peat), not elsewhere specified or included) 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.
Recorded imports
Between January 2026 and April 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 68151200 in 2 of 6 months, totalling 935 kg at an assessable value of BDT 509,847. That is an average of BDT 545 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 3,340th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| January 2026 | 475 kg | BDT 325,732 | BDT 686 |
| April 2026 | 460 kg | BDT 184,115 | BDT 400 |
Bonded imports. A further 5,959 kg worth BDT 37,910,534 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 98.7% 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 68 contains 54 tariff lines, averaging 78.97%. At 64.25%, 68151200 sits below that average by 14.72 percentage points. It is the 16th 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.
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.
