HS Code 72092800
Flat/Cold-Rolled Iron/Steel, Not In Coils, Width >=600mm, < 0.5mm Thick
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 72092800 would be approximately BDT 52,000.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 52% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Flat/Cold-Rolled Iron/Steel, Not In Coils, Width >=600mm, < 0.5mm Thick is classified under HS code 72092800, 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 10%, 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 52%, 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 February 2026 and April 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 72092800 in 2 of 6 months, totalling 66,309 kg at an assessable value of BDT 5,325,473. That is an average of BDT 80 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 2,301st largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |

How this line compares
Chapter 72 contains 188 tariff lines, averaging 51.03%. At 52%, 72092800 sits above that average by 0.97 percentage points. It is the 47th 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 9.08 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.
