HS Code 82119200
Other Knives With Fixed Blades (Excl. Table Knives)
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 82119200 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other Knives With Fixed Blades (Excl. Table Knives) is classified under HS code 82119200, which sits in heading 8211 (Knives; with cutting blades, serrated or not (including pruning knives), other than knives of heading no. 8208, and blades therefore) 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 82119200 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 104,869 kg at an assessable value of BDT 24,004,618. That is an average of BDT 229 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,946th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 786 kg worth BDT 2,928,472 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 10.9% 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%, 82119200 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.
