HS Code 85030020
PARTS OF OTHER GENERATOR
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 85030020 would be approximately BDT 28,730.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 28.73% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
PARTS OF OTHER GENERATOR is classified under HS code 85030020, which sits in heading 8503 (Electric motors and generators; parts suitable for use solely or principally with the machines of heading no. 8501 or 8502) of chapter 85 (Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound and television recorders and reproducers).
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 85030020 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 54,667 kg at an assessable value of BDT 121,822,195. That is an average of BDT 2,228 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,351st largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 1,539 kg worth BDT 8,602,724 entered under the bonded-warehouse regime in the same period — goods brought in duty-free as inputs on the undertaking that they leave again as exports, which in Bangladesh overwhelmingly means ready-made garments. Bonded entries account for 6.6% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 85 contains 412 tariff lines, averaging 52.09%. At 28.73%, 85030020 sits below that average by 23.36 percentage points. It is the 338th 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 32.35 points.
Within heading 8503 alone, rates run from 28.73% to 45.88% across 7 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.
