HS Code 89031900
Inflatable (including rigid hull inflatable) boats : OTHER
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 89031900 would be approximately BDT 58,130.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 58.13% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Inflatable (including rigid hull inflatable) boats : OTHER is classified under HS code 89031900, which sits in heading 8903 (Yachts and other vessels; for pleasure or sports, rowing boats and canoes) of chapter 89 (Ships, boats and floating structures).
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 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 58.13%, 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 May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 89031900 in 4 of 6 months, totalling 898 kg at an assessable value of BDT 4,511,288. That is an average of BDT 5,024 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,581st largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 89 contains 37 tariff lines, averaging 45.46%. At 58.13%, 89031900 sits above that average by 12.67 percentage points. It is the 4th 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 2.95 points.
Within heading 8903 alone, rates run from 58.13% to 64.25% 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.
