HS Code 74153390
SCREWS;BOLTS AND NUTS, EXCLUDING SCREWS FOR WOOD
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 74153390 would be approximately BDT 96,100.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 96.1% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
SCREWS;BOLTS AND NUTS, EXCLUDING SCREWS FOR WOOD is classified under HS code 74153390, 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 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 74153390 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 22,542 kg at an assessable value of BDT 35,963,434. That is an average of BDT 1,595 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,779th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 70 kg worth BDT 341,880 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 0.9% 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 96.1%, 74153390 sits above that average by 53.34 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 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.
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.
