HS Code 84021200
Watertube Boilers With A Steam Production =<45t/Hour
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 84021200 would be approximately BDT 28,730.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 28.73% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Watertube Boilers With A Steam Production =<45t/Hour is classified under HS code 84021200, which sits in heading 8402 (Boilers; steam or other vapour generating (other than central heating hot water boilers, capable also of producing low pressure steam), super heated water boilers) 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 1%, 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 28.73%, 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 84021200 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 628,636 kg at an assessable value of BDT 246,555,353. That is an average of BDT 392 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,405th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |

| December 2025 | 108,883 kg | BDT 44,153,129 | BDT 406 |
| January 2026 | 207,602 kg | BDT 90,275,660 | BDT 435 |

Bonded imports. A further 8,657 kg worth BDT 10,208,721 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 4.0% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is cheaper than the typical import by 32.35 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.
