HS Code 87100000
Motorized Tanks And Other Armoured Fighting Vehicles And Parts Thereof
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 87100000 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Motorized Tanks And Other Armoured Fighting Vehicles And Parts Thereof is classified under HS code 87100000, which sits in heading 8710 (Tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles; motorised, whether or not fitted with weapons, and parts of such vehicles) 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 May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 87100000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 74,856 kg at an assessable value of BDT 411,706,698. That is an average of BDT 5,500 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,949th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
