HS Code 72193400
Cold-Rolled Stainless Steel, Uncoiled, >=600mm By 0.5-1mm
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 72193400 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Cold-Rolled Stainless Steel, Uncoiled, >=600mm By 0.5-1mm is classified under HS code 72193400, which sits in heading 7219 (Stainless steel; flat-rolled products of width of 600mm or more) 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 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 39.75%, 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 72193400 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 22,486,291 kg at an assessable value of BDT 3,287,939,283. That is an average of BDT 146 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 154th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 10,274 kg worth BDT 2,989,213 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 0.1% 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 39.75%, 72193400 sits below that average by 11.28 percentage points. It is the 76th 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 21.33 points.
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.
