Other Articles Of Zinc, Nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 79070090 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other Articles Of Zinc, Nes is classified under HS code 79070090, which sits in heading 7907 (Zinc; articles n.e.c. in chapter 79) 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.

That is an average of BDT 492 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,479th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

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.
