Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 72259900 would be approximately BDT 31,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 31.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Flat-Rolled Products Of Alloy Steel, >=600mm Wide, Nes is classified under HS code 72259900, 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 0%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 31.5%, 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.

How this line compares
Chapter 72 contains 188 tariff lines, averaging 51.03%. At 31.5%, 72259900 sits below that average by 19.53 percentage points. It is the 168th 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 29.58 points.
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.
