Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 96071900 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Slide Fasteners Not Fitted With Chain Scoops Of Base Metal is classified under HS code 96071900, which sits in heading 9607 (Slide fasteners and parts thereof) 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 96071900 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 1,381,470 kg at an assessable value of BDT 342,893,050. That is an average of BDT 248 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,166th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 6,294,220 kg worth BDT 11,904,521,647 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 97.2% 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.
