Other Units Of Automatic Data Processing Machines Nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 84718000 would be approximately BDT 17,880.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 17.88% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other Units Of Automatic Data Processing Machines Nes is classified under HS code 84718000, which sits in heading 8471 (Automatic data processing machines and units thereof, magnetic or optical readers, machines for transcribing data onto data media in coded form and machines for processing such data, not elsewhere specified or included) 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 5%, 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 17.88%, 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.

Between December 2025 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 84718000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 13,793 kg at an assessable value of BDT 184,360,744. That is an average of BDT 13,366 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,501st largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 84 contains 648 tariff lines, averaging 35.59%. At 17.88%, 84718000 sits below that average by 17.71 percentage points. It is the 590th 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 43.2 points.
Within heading 8471 alone, rates run from 9.5% to 33.63% across 13 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.
