HS Code 79011290
Other
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 79011290 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other is classified under HS code 79011290, which sits in heading 7901 (Zinc; unwrought) of chapter 79 (Zinc and articles thereof).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 10%, 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 39.75%, 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 January 2026 and April 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 79011290 in 4 of 6 months, totalling 44,207 kg at an assessable value of BDT 10,480,092. That is an average of BDT 237 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 2,239th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 79 contains 12 tariff lines, averaging 36.79%. At 39.75%, 79011290 sits above that average by 2.96 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 cheaper than the typical import by 21.33 points.
Within heading 7901 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 39.75% across 5 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.
