HS Code 83081000
Hooks, Eyes And Eyelets Of Base Metal
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 83081000 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Hooks, Eyes And Eyelets Of Base Metal is classified under HS code 83081000, which sits in heading 8308 (Clasps, frames with clasps, buckles, buckle-clasps, hooks, eyes, eyelets etc for clothing & accessories, footwear, jewellery, wrist-watches, books, awnings, leather goods, travel goods, saddlery etc, tubular etc rivets, beads, spangles, of base metal) of chapter 83 (Miscellaneous articles 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 83081000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 155,625 kg at an assessable value of BDT 47,675,901. That is an average of BDT 306 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,773rd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 2,314,132 kg worth BDT 2,952,364,612 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 98.4% 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 83 contains 45 tariff lines, averaging 68.65%. At 64.25%, 83081000 sits below that average by 4.4 percentage points. It is the 11th 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.
