HS Code 84014000
Parts Of Nuclear Reactors (Excl. Fuel Elements)
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 84014000 would be approximately BDT 27,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 27.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Parts Of Nuclear Reactors (Excl. Fuel Elements) is classified under HS code 84014000, which sits in heading 8401 (Nuclear reactors; fuel elements (cartridges), non-irradiated, for nuclear reactors, machinery and apparatus for isotopic separation) of chapter 84 (Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 0%, 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 27.5%, 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 March 2026 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 84014000 in 3 of 6 months, totalling 631,430 kg at an assessable value of BDT 9,956,050,351. That is an average of BDT 15,767 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 57th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
