HS Code 72261900
Flatrolled Prods.Of Siliconelectric.Steel,<600mm Wide,Not Grain-Oriented
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 72261900 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Flatrolled Prods.Of Siliconelectric.Steel,<600mm Wide,Not Grain-Oriented is classified under HS code 72261900, which sits in heading 7226 (Alloy steel flat-rolled products, of a width of less than 600mm) of chapter 72 (Iron and steel).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 5%, 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 33.63%, 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.

That is an average of BDT 170 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 3,644th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 72 contains 188 tariff lines, averaging 51.03%. At 33.63%, 72261900 sits below that average by 17.4 percentage points. It is the 149th 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 27.45 points.
Within heading 7226 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 39.75% across 7 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.
