Baths Of Cast Iron Wheather Or Not Enamelled
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 73242100 would be approximately BDT 96,100.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 96.1% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Baths Of Cast Iron Wheather Or Not Enamelled is classified under HS code 73242100, which sits in heading 7324 (Sanitary ware and parts thereof, 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.

How this line compares
Chapter 73 contains 157 tariff lines, averaging 64.73%. At 96.1%, 73242100 sits above that average by 31.37 percentage points. It is the 1st most heavily taxed line in the chapter.

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.
