Worked example

On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 89012020 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.

What these figures mean

VESELS CAPACITY 3001-5000 DWT FOR REG.IN BD OPERATING IN OCEAN FOR AT LEAST 3 CONSE.YRS is classified under HS code 89012020, which sits in heading 8901 (Cruise ships, excursion boats, ferry-boats, cargo ships, barges and similar vessels for the transport of persons or goods) of chapter 89 (Ships, boats and floating structures).

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

NBR recorded no commercial imports under 89012020 between December 2025 and May 2026. That is not unusual — roughly a third of the 7,469 lines in the schedule saw no commercial import in that window. Goods may still have entered under a bonded-warehouse regime, or been declared under a neighbouring code.

Import figures: NBR Import Statements (IM-4 commercial), December 2025 – May 2026. Assessable value is the customs value on which duty is charged, not the retail or invoice price.

How this line compares

Chapter 89 contains 37 tariff lines, averaging 45.46%. At 39.75%, 89012020 sits below that average by 5.71 percentage points. It is the 16th 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 8901 alone, rates run from 22.5% to 64.25% across 16 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.
