HS Code 92011000
Upright Pianos
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 92011000 would be approximately BDT 58,130.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 58.13% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Upright Pianos is classified under HS code 92011000, which sits in heading 9201 (Pianos; including automatic pianos, harpsichords and other keyboard stringed instruments) of chapter 92 (Musical instruments; parts and accessories of such articles).
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 December 2025 and April 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 92011000 in 3 of 6 months, totalling 1,822 kg at an assessable value of BDT 3,172,802. That is an average of BDT 1,741 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 2,954th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 92 contains 17 tariff lines, averaging 58.13%. At 58.13%, 92011000 sits almost exactly at that average. It is the 1st 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.
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.
