HS Code 79050000
Zinc Plates, Sheets, Strip And Foil
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 79050000 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Zinc Plates, Sheets, Strip And Foil is classified under HS code 79050000, which sits in heading 7905 (Zinc; plates, sheets, strip and foil) 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 February 2026 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 79050000 in 2 of 6 months, totalling 75 kg at an assessable value of BDT 151,888. That is an average of BDT 2,025 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,297th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| February 2026 | 10 kg | BDT 36,747 | BDT 3,675 |
| May 2026 | 65 kg | BDT 115,141 | BDT 1,771 |
Bonded imports. A further 83,163 kg worth BDT 53,974,502 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. That is 99.7% of everything imported under this code. In practice this line is an export input rather than a product entering the domestic market, so the duty rates above apply to only a small fraction of the trade.

How this line compares
Chapter 79 contains 12 tariff lines, averaging 36.79%. At 39.75%, 79050000 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.
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.
