HS Code 84773000
Blow Moulding Machines For Working Rubber Or Plastics, Etc
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 84773000 would be approximately BDT 28,730.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 28.73% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Blow Moulding Machines For Working Rubber Or Plastics, Etc is classified under HS code 84773000, which sits in heading 8477 (Machinery; for working rubber or plastics or for the manufacture of products from these materials, n.e.c. in this chapter) 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.
