Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 96063000 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Button moulds and other parts of buttons; button blanks: is classified under HS code 96063000, which sits in heading 9606 (Buttons, press-fasteners, snap-fasteners and press-studs, button moulds and other parts of these articles; button blanks) of chapter 96 (Miscellaneous manufactured articles).
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 96063000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 89,074 kg at an assessable value of BDT 28,455,333. That is an average of BDT 319 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,734th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 290,183 kg worth BDT 571,489,195 entered under the bonded-warehouse regime in the same period — goods brought in duty-free as inputs on the undertaking that they leave again as exports, which in Bangladesh overwhelmingly means ready-made garments. That is 95.3% of everything imported under this code. In practice this line is an export input rather than a product entering the domestic market, so the duty rates above apply to only a small fraction of the trade.
