HS Code 84283200
Continuous-Action Elevators And Conveyors, Bucket Type, Nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 84283200 would be approximately BDT 28,730.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 28.73% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Continuous-Action Elevators And Conveyors, Bucket Type, Nes is classified under HS code 84283200, which sits in heading 8428 (Lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery; n.e.c. in heading no. 8425, 8426 or 8427 (e.g. lifts, escalators, conveyors, teleferics)) 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.

How this line compares
Chapter 84 contains 648 tariff lines, averaging 35.59%. At 28.73%, 84283200 sits below that average by 6.86 percentage points. It is the 166th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.

Within heading 8428 alone, rates run from 28.73% to 45.88% across 10 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.
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.
