HS Code 82014000
Axes, Bill Hooks And Similar Hewing Tools
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 82014000 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Axes, Bill Hooks And Similar Hewing Tools is classified under HS code 82014000, which sits in heading 8201 (Tools, hand; spades, shovels, mattocks, picks, hoes, forks, rakes; axes, bill hooks etc; secateurs and pruners of any kind; scythes, sickles, hay knives, hedge shears, timber wedges and other tools used in agriculture, horticulture, forestry) of chapter 82 (Tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 64.25%, 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 82014000 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 13,707 kg at an assessable value of BDT 2,375,389. That is an average of BDT 173 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,371st largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 660 kg | BDT 123,999 | BDT 188 |
| January 2026 | 316 kg | BDT 66,132 | BDT 209 |
| March 2026 | 411 kg | BDT 76,829 | BDT 187 |
| April 2026 | 1,215 kg | BDT 108,761 | BDT 90 |
| May 2026 | 11,105 kg | BDT 1,999,668 | BDT 180 |
Bonded imports. A further 2 kg worth BDT 25,365 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 1.1% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 82 contains 69 tariff lines, averaging 47.78%. At 64.25%, 82014000 sits above that average by 16.47 percentage points. It is the 5th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 3.17 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.
