HS Code 73144900
Iron/Steel Cloth, Grill, Netting & Fencing, Nes,
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 73144900 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Iron/Steel Cloth, Grill, Netting & Fencing, Nes, is classified under HS code 73144900, which sits in heading 7314 (Cloth (including endless bands), grill, netting and fencing, of iron or steel wire; expanded metal of iron or steel) of chapter 73 (Articles of iron or steel).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 64.25%, 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 73144900 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 105,828 kg at an assessable value of BDT 78,441,910. That is an average of BDT 741 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,614th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 6,356 kg worth BDT 2,622,894 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 3.2% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 73 contains 157 tariff lines, averaging 64.73%. At 64.25%, 73144900 sits below that average by 0.48 percentage points. It is the 37th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 3.17 points.
Within heading 7314 alone, rates run from 28.73% to 64.25% across 10 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.
