HS Code 84368000
Agricultural... Forestry Or Bee-Keeping Machinery, Nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 84368000 would be approximately BDT 12,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 12.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Agricultural... Forestry Or Bee-Keeping Machinery, Nes is classified under HS code 84368000, which sits in heading 8436 (Agricultural, horticultural, forestry, poultry-keeping, bee-keeping machinery; including germination plant fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment; poultry incubators and brooders) 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 0%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 12.5%, 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 December 2025 and April 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 84368000 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 8,775 kg at an assessable value of BDT 5,934,732. That is an average of BDT 676 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 3,766th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|

Bonded imports. A further 80 kg worth BDT 33,143 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 0.6% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 84 contains 648 tariff lines, averaging 35.59%. At 12.5%, 84368000 sits below that average by 23.09 percentage points. It is the 619th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is cheaper than the typical import by 48.58 points.
Within heading 8436 alone, rates run from 12.5% to 13.58% across 6 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.
