HS Code 86080000
Railway/Tramway Track Fixtures/Fittings; Mechanical Signalling...
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 86080000 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Railway/Tramway Track Fixtures/Fittings; Mechanical Signalling... is classified under HS code 86080000, which sits in heading 8608 (Railway or tramway track fixtures and fittings; mechanical (including electro-mechanical) signalling, safety or traffic control equipment for railways, tramways, roads, inland waterways, parking facilities, port installations or airfields; 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 February 2026 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 86080000 in 3 of 6 months, totalling 11,728 kg at an assessable value of BDT 19,754,025. That is an average of BDT 1,684 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,188th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 86 contains 24 tariff lines, averaging 38.27%. At 39.75%, 86080000 sits above that average by 1.48 percentage points. It is the 1st 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.
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.
