Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 82122090 would be approximately BDT 96,100.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 96.1% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Safety Razor Blades (Incl. Razor Blades Blanks In Strips) Nes. is classified under HS code 82122090, which sits in heading 8212 (Razors and razor blades; (including razor blade blanks in strips)) 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 20%, 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 96.1%, 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 1,339 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,993rd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 82 contains 69 tariff lines, averaging 47.78%. At 96.1%, 82122090 sits above that average by 48.32 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 dearer than the typical import by 35.02 points.
Within heading 8212 alone, rates run from 39.75% to 96.1% 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.
This line carries supplementary duty of 20%. Only 1,633 of 7,469 lines carry any SD at all, and because it is charged after customs and regulatory duty, and VAT is then charged on top of it, it affects the total far more than the rate alone suggests.
