HS Code 73211100
Cooking Appliances, Plate Warmers, For Gas Fuel... Of Iron Or Steel
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 73211100 would be approximately BDT 96,100.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 96.1% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Cooking Appliances, Plate Warmers, For Gas Fuel... Of Iron Or Steel is classified under HS code 73211100, which sits in heading 7321 (Stoves, ranges, grates, cookers (those with subsidiary boilers for central heating), barbecues, braziers, gas-rings, plate warmers and similar non-electric domestic appliances and parts, 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 20%, 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 96.1%, 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 73211100 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 665,575 kg at an assessable value of BDT 79,845,363. That is an average of BDT 120 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,636th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 10 kg worth BDT 314 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 0.0% 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 96.1%, 73211100 sits above that average by 31.37 percentage points. It is the 1st 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 35.02 points.
Within heading 7321 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 96.1% 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.
This line carries supplementary duty of 20%. Only 1,633 of 7,469 lines carry any SD at all, and because it is charged after customs and regulatory duty, and VAT is then charged on top of it, it affects the total far more than the rate alone suggests.
