HS Code 74152900
Non-Threaded Articles Such As Rivets, Cotters, Cotter-Pins... Of Copper
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 74152900 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Non-Threaded Articles Such As Rivets, Cotters, Cotter-Pins... Of Copper is classified under HS code 74152900, which sits in heading 7415 (Copper, nails, tacks, drawing pins, staples (not those of heading no. 8305) and the like, of copper or iron or steel with heads of copper; screws bolts, nuts, screws hooks, rivets, cotters, washers) 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 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 33.63%, 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 74152900 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 1,275 kg at an assessable value of BDT 3,216,788. That is an average of BDT 2,523 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,173rd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 684 kg worth BDT 799,343 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 19.9% 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 33.63%, 74152900 sits below that average by 9.13 percentage points. It is the 31st 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 27.45 points.
Within heading 7415 alone, rates run from 28.73% to 96.1% across 6 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.
