HS Code 96170000
Vacuum Flasks, Etc, Complete With Cases; Parts Thereof(Excl. Inners)
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 96170000 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Vacuum Flasks, Etc, Complete With Cases; Parts Thereof(Excl. Inners) is classified under HS code 96170000, which sits in heading 9617 (Vacuum flasks and other vacuum vessels, complete with cases; parts thereof other than glass inners) of chapter 96 (Miscellaneous manufactured 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 5% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 64.25%, 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 96170000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 513,974 kg at an assessable value of BDT 195,729,632. That is an average of BDT 381 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,333rd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
