What these figures mean
Flat-Rolled Alloy Steel,>=600mm Wide,Zinc Plated/Coated(Excl.Electroplated is classified under HS code 72259200, which sits in heading 7225 (Alloy steel flat-rolled products, of a width 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.

Within heading 7225 alone, rates run from 31.5% to 39.75% across 8 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.
