HS Code 72292000
Wire Of Silico-Manganese Alloy Steel
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 72292000 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Wire Of Silico-Manganese Alloy Steel is classified under HS code 72292000, which sits in heading 7229 (Wire of other alloy steel) 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 April 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 72292000 in 4 of 6 months, totalling 85,660 kg at an assessable value of BDT 10,425,346. That is an average of BDT 122 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 2,374th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.
