HS Code 85069010
Separator (Parts Of Primary Cells And Primary Batteries)
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 85069010 would be approximately BDT 35,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 35.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Separator (Parts Of Primary Cells And Primary Batteries) is classified under HS code 85069010, which sits in heading 8506 (Cells and batteries; primary) 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 10%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 1%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 35.75%, 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.

How this line compares
Chapter 85 contains 412 tariff lines, averaging 52.09%. At 35.75%, 85069010 sits below that average by 16.34 percentage points. It is the 307th 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 25.33 points.
Within heading 8506 alone, rates run from 35.75% to 96.1% across 9 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.
