HS Code 71031000
Precious (Excl. Diamonds) Or Semi-Precious Stones, Unworked
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 71031000 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Precious (Excl. Diamonds) Or Semi-Precious Stones, Unworked is classified under HS code 71031000, which sits in heading 7103 (Precious (excluding diamond) and semi-precious stone; worked, graded, not strung, mounted, set; ungraded precious (excluding diamond) and semi-precious stone, temporarily strung for convenience of transport) of chapter 71 (Natural or cultured pearls, precious stones, precious metals; imitation jewellery; coin).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 5%, 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 33.63%, 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 January 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 71031000 in 1 of 6 months, totalling 2,290 kg at an assessable value of BDT 1,058,319. That is an average of BDT 462 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In January 2026 it was the 2,957th largest of 4,179 tariff lines by assessable value.
