HS Code 75051200
Bars, rods and profiles, of nickel alloys
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 75051200 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 nickel alloys is classified under HS code 75051200, which sits in heading 7505 (Nickel; bars, rods, profiles and wire) of chapter 75 (Nickel 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.
Recorded imports
Between February 2026 and March 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 75051200 in 2 of 6 months, totalling 30 kg at an assessable value of BDT 198,912. That is an average of BDT 6,630 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In March 2026 it was the 3,522nd largest of 4,054 tariff lines by assessable value.
