HS Code 87079050
Bodies Including Cabs, For The Motor Vehicles Of Heading Nos.87.05
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 87079050 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Bodies Including Cabs, For The Motor Vehicles Of Heading Nos.87.05 is classified under HS code 87079050, which sits in heading 8707 (Bodies; (including cabs) for the motor vehicles of heading no. 8701 to 8705) 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.
Recorded imports
Between December 2025 and December 2025, NBR recorded commercial imports under 87079050 in 1 of 6 months, totalling 10 kg at an assessable value of BDT 6,153.

In December 2025 it was the 3,999th largest of 4,219 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 87 contains 510 tariff lines, averaging 135.66%. At 33.63%, 87079050 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 8707 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 135.91% across 11 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.
