HS Code 72022100
Ferro-Silicon, Containing By Weight >55% Silicon
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 72022100 would be approximately BDT 45,880.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 45.88% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Ferro-Silicon, Containing By Weight >55% Silicon is classified under HS code 72022100, which sits in heading 7202 (Ferro-alloys) of chapter 72 (Iron and steel).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 0%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 15% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 45.88%, 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 72022100 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 3,024,333 kg at an assessable value of BDT 481,256,939. That is an average of BDT 159 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 518th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 72 contains 188 tariff lines, averaging 51.03%. At 45.88%, 72022100 sits below that average by 5.15 percentage points. It is the 67th 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 15.2 points.
Within heading 7202 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 45.88% across 15 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.
