HS Code 73229000
Air Heaters/Hot Air Distributors..., Nes (Non-Electric) Of Iron/Steel
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 73229000 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Air Heaters/Hot Air Distributors..., Nes (Non-Electric) Of Iron/Steel is classified under HS code 73229000, which sits in heading 7322 (Radiators for central heating, not electrically heated and parts thereof, of iron or steel; air heaters, hot air distributors not electrically heated, with motor fan or blower) 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.

That is an average of BDT 1,064 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,039th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
