HS Code 78019100
Unwrought Lead, Containing Antimony As The Principale Other Element
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 78019100 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Unwrought Lead, Containing Antimony As The Principale Other Element is classified under HS code 78019100, which sits in heading 7801 (Lead; unwrought) of chapter 78 (Lead 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 78019100 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 5,252,864 kg at an assessable value of BDT 1,653,663,081. That is an average of BDT 315 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 162nd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 347,319 kg worth BDT 122,795,219 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 6.9% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.
