Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 72091800 would be approximately BDT 70,380.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 70.38% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Flat roll Prod. in coil not Fut. work.. Cold roll thickness <.5mm is classified under HS code 72091800, which sits in heading 7209 (Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled products, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated) of chapter 72 (Iron and steel).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 10% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 70.38%, 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 72 contains 188 tariff lines, averaging 51.03%. At 70.38%, 72091800 sits above that average by 19.35 percentage points. It is the 33rd 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 9.3 points.
Within heading 7209 alone, rates run from 52% to 70.38% across 11 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.
