HS Code 70134900
Glassware ...(othr than dri.glasses) or kit.purposes other than of glass-cerami
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 70134900 would be approximately BDT 135,910.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 135.91% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Glassware ...(othr than dri.glasses) or kit.purposes other than of glass-cerami is classified under HS code 70134900, which sits in heading 7013 (Glassware of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration or similar purposes (other than of heading no. 7010 or 7018)) of chapter 70 (Glass and glassware).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 45%, 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 135.91%, 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 70134900 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 572,130 kg at an assessable value of BDT 154,231,725. That is an average of BDT 270 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 875th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 1 kg worth BDT 79,605 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. Bonded entries account for 0.1% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 70 contains 90 tariff lines, averaging 70.98%. At 135.91%, 70134900 sits above that average by 64.93 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 74.83 points.
This line carries supplementary duty of 45%. 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.
