HS Code 84471200
Circular Knitting Machines, With Cylinder Diameter >165mm
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 84471200 would be approximately BDT 13,580.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 13.58% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Circular Knitting Machines, With Cylinder Diameter >165mm is classified under HS code 84471200, which sits in heading 8447 (Knitting machines, stitch-bonding machines and machines for making gimped yarn, tulle, lace, embroidery, trimmings, braid or net and machines for tufting) 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 0%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 13.58%, 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.

That is an average of BDT 1,281 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 264th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 84 contains 648 tariff lines, averaging 35.59%. At 13.58%, 84471200 sits below that average by 22.01 percentage points. It is the 600th 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 47.5 points.
Within heading 8447 alone, rates run from 12.5% to 13.58% across 4 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.
