HS Code 72106190
Ro.Iron/Steel,..Excl. thi.=< 0.4 mm imp.by reg. & pre-fabr. building mfg industry
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 72106190 would be approximately BDT 76,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 76.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Ro.Iron/Steel,..Excl. thi.=< 0.4 mm imp.by reg. & pre-fabr. building mfg industry is classified under HS code 72106190, 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 72106190 in 3 of 6 months, totalling 22,930 kg at an assessable value of BDT 3,016,920. That is an average of BDT 132 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 4,025th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| January 2026 | 65 kg | BDT 32,555 | BDT 501 |
| February 2026 | 22,860 kg | BDT 2,983,749 | BDT 131 |
| May 2026 | 5 kg | BDT 616 | BDT 123 |
Bonded imports. A further 117,340 kg worth BDT 14,836,862 entered under the bonded-warehouse regime in the same period — goods brought in duty-free as inputs on the undertaking that they leave again as exports, which in Bangladesh overwhelmingly means ready-made garments. Bonded entries account for 83.1% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 72 contains 188 tariff lines, averaging 51.03%. At 76.5%, 72106190 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.
