HS Code 69039010
Ceramic Ingot Moulds
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 69039010 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Ceramic Ingot Moulds is classified under HS code 69039010, which sits in heading 6903 (Ceramic goods; (e.g. retorts, crucibles, muffles, nozzles, plugs, supports cupels, tubes, pipes, sheaths, rods and slide gates) excluding those of siliceous fossil meals or of similar siliceous earths) of chapter 69 (Ceramic products).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 10%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 39.75%, 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 69039010 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 6,123 kg at an assessable value of BDT 29,797,040. That is an average of BDT 4,866 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,010th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 69 contains 37 tariff lines, averaging 86.42%. At 39.75%, 69039010 sits below that average by 46.67 percentage points. It is the 20th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is cheaper than the typical import by 21.33 points.
Within heading 6903 alone, rates run from 28.73% to 39.75% across 9 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.
