Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 87032353 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Recond Ambulance fitted essen. equp. passen cabin leng>9ft cap.>2000cc, =<3000cc is classified under HS code 87032353, which sits in heading 8703 (Motor cars and other motor vehicles; principally designed for the transport of persons (other than those of heading no. 8702), including station wagons and racing cars) of chapter 87 (Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 5%, 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 33.63%, 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 87 contains 510 tariff lines, averaging 135.66%. At 33.63%, 87032353 sits below that average by 102.03 percentage points. It is the 362nd 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 27.45 points.
Within heading 8703 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 1007.5% across 282 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.
