HS Code 72106120
PLATED OR COATED WITH ALU.ZINC ALLOYS Of a thickness of 1.0 mm or more
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 72106120 would be approximately BDT 76,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 76.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
PLATED OR COATED WITH ALU.ZINC ALLOYS Of a thickness of 1.0 mm or more is classified under HS code 72106120, which sits in heading 7210 (Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled products, width 600mm or more, 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 15% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 76.5%, 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 May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 72106120 in 3 of 6 months, totalling 134,398 kg at an assessable value of BDT 16,935,711. That is an average of BDT 126 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,423rd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 72 contains 188 tariff lines, averaging 51.03%. At 76.5%, 72106120 sits above that average by 25.47 percentage points. It is the 20th 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 15.42 points.
Within heading 7210 alone, rates run from 52% to 82.63% across 20 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.
