Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 69131000 would be approximately BDT 159,800.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 159.8% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Statuettes And Other Ornamental Articles Of Porcelain Or China is classified under HS code 69131000, which sits in heading 6913 (Statuettes and other ornamental ceramic articles) of chapter 69 (Ceramic products).
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.

How this line compares
Chapter 69 contains 37 tariff lines, averaging 86.42%. At 159.8%, 69131000 sits above that average by 73.38 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.
