HS Code 86072100
Air Brakes And Parts Thereof, Of Railway... Locomotives/Rolling Stock
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 86072100 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Air Brakes And Parts Thereof, Of Railway... Locomotives/Rolling Stock is classified under HS code 86072100, which sits in heading 8607 (Railway or tramway locomotives or rolling stock; parts thereof) of chapter 86 (Railway or tramway locomotives, rolling-stock and parts; track fixtures; traffic signalling equipment).
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.
Recorded imports
Between December 2025 and December 2025, NBR recorded commercial imports under 86072100 in 1 of 6 months, totalling 6 kg at an assessable value of BDT 21,919.

In December 2025 it was the 3,855th largest of 4,219 tariff lines by assessable value.

Within heading 8607 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 39.75% across 8 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.
