HS Code 94036010
Furniture of a kind used in pharmaceutical laboratory
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 94036010 would be approximately BDT 118,150.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 118.15% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Furniture of a kind used in pharmaceutical laboratory is classified under HS code 94036010, which sits in heading 9403 (Furniture and parts thereof, n.e.c. in chapter 94) of chapter 94 (Furniture; bedding, mattresses, cushions; luminaires and lighting fittings; illuminated signs; prefabricated buildings).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 20%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 20% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 118.15%, 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 94036010 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 4,077 kg at an assessable value of BDT 2,390,620. That is an average of BDT 586 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 3,705th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 94 contains 66 tariff lines, averaging 95.36%. At 118.15%, 94036010 sits above that average by 22.79 percentage points. It is the 21st most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 57.07 points.
Within heading 9403 alone, rates run from 28.73% to 118.15% across 17 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.
This line carries supplementary duty of 20%. Only 1,633 of 7,469 lines carry any SD at all, and because it is charged after customs and regulatory duty, and VAT is then charged on top of it, it affects the total far more than the rate alone suggests.
