Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 84729010 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Office machines (incl. coin-sorting/counting/wrapping machines...) , nes is classified under HS code 84729010, which sits in heading 8472 (Office machines; not elsewhere classified) 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 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 33.63%, 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 84729010 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 143,457 kg at an assessable value of BDT 232,497,726. That is an average of BDT 1,621 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 710th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 84 contains 648 tariff lines, averaging 35.59%. At 33.63%, 84729010 sits below that average by 1.96 percentage points. It is the 135th 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 27.45 points.
Within heading 8472 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 39.75% 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.
