What these figures mean
Threaded Articles Of Copper, Nes is classified under HS code 74153900, 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 15%, 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 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.

How this line compares
Chapter 74 contains 53 tariff lines, averaging 42.76%. At 45.88%, 74153900 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 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.
