HS Code 84778000
Other Machinery For Working Rubber/Plastics Or Making Products Thereof,Nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 84778000 would be approximately BDT 28,730.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 28.73% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other Machinery For Working Rubber/Plastics Or Making Products Thereof,Nes is classified under HS code 84778000, 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.
Recorded imports
Between December 2025 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 84778000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 2,358,209 kg at an assessable value of BDT 2,631,822,096. That is an average of BDT 1,116 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 215th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
