HS Code 87116000
Motorcycles (including mopeds)...; side-cars., With electric motor for propulsion
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 87116000 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Motorcycles (including mopeds)...; side-cars., With electric motor for propulsion is classified under HS code 87116000, which sits in heading 8711 (Motorcycles (including mopeds) and cycles; fitted with an auxiliary motor, with or without side-cars; side-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 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 December 2025 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 87116000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 939,363 kg at an assessable value of BDT 441,709,935. That is an average of BDT 470 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 337th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 87 contains 510 tariff lines, averaging 135.66%. At 39.75%, 87116000 sits below that average by 95.91 percentage points. It is the 333rd 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.
Within heading 8711 alone, rates run from 39.75% to 462.38% across 31 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.
