Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 85176250 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
WI-FI WIMAX LAN Card Access point,Security Dev is classified under HS code 85176250, which sits in heading 8517 (Telephone sets, including smartphones and other telephones for cellular/wireless networks; other apparatus for the transmission or reception of voice, images or other data (including wired/wireless networks), excluding items of 8443, 8525, 8527, or 8528) 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 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 39.75%, 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.

That is an average of BDT 28,208 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 611th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 85 contains 412 tariff lines, averaging 52.09%. At 39.75%, 85176250 sits below that average by 12.34 percentage points. It is the 197th 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 21.33 points.
Within heading 8517 alone, rates run from 20.25% to 64.25% across 16 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.
