HS Code 87043129
Goods Vehicle...gvw=<5 tones Truck in CKD
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 87043129 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Goods Vehicle...gvw=<5 tones Truck in CKD is classified under HS code 87043129, which sits in heading 8704 (Vehicles; for the transport of goods) 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 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 64.25%, 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 January 2026 and January 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 87043129 in 1 of 6 months, totalling 3,600 kg at an assessable value of BDT 5,865,234. That is an average of BDT 1,629 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In January 2026 it was the 2,168th largest of 4,179 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 87 contains 510 tariff lines, averaging 135.66%. At 64.25%, 87043129 sits below that average by 71.41 percentage points. It is the 253rd most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 3.17 points.
Within heading 8704 alone, rates run from 28.73% to 860.5% across 61 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.
