HS Code 74071000
Bars, rods and profiles of refined copper
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 74071000 would be approximately BDT 45,880.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 45.88% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Bars, rods and profiles of refined copper is classified under HS code 74071000, which sits in heading 7407 (Copper; bars, rods and profiles) of chapter 74 (Copper and articles thereof).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 5%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 10% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 45.88%, 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 74071000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 67,871 kg at an assessable value of BDT 54,774,009. That is an average of BDT 807 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,010th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |

| January 2026 | 3 kg | BDT 6,580 | BDT 2,193 |
| February 2026 | 532 kg | BDT 1,237,231 | BDT 2,326 |
| March 2026 | 34,461 kg | BDT 27,864,318 | BDT 809 |
| April 2026 | 27,235 kg | BDT 18,193,500 | BDT 668 |

Bonded imports. A further 1,770 kg worth BDT 3,188,828 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 5.5% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 74 contains 53 tariff lines, averaging 42.76%. At 45.88%, 74071000 sits above that average by 3.12 percentage points. It is the 9th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is cheaper than the typical import by 15.2 points.
Within heading 7407 alone, rates run from 39.75% to 45.88% across 4 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.
