HS Code 8531.10.00

Duty rates for 8531.10.00 (FY 2025-2026)

Description: Electrical Burglar Or Fire Alarms And Similar Apparatus

Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment; sound and television recorders and reproducers; parts

Rates as published in the NBR Customs Tariff for FY 2025-2026. Concessions under SROs, exemptions for specific importers and port-specific assessment values can change the amount actually payable.

Worked example: importing goods worth Tk 100,000

Suppose the CIF value (cost + insurance + freight) of a shipment under 8531.10.00 is Tk 100,000. Customs first adds a 1% landing charge to get the assessable value (AV), then applies each tax in this order:

So every Tk 100 of assessable value under this code carries about Tk 26.90 in duty and taxes. AIT and AT are advance taxes: a VAT-registered importer can usually adjust AT against their VAT return, and AIT can be credited against income tax (except where it is treated as final tax for commercial imports), so the real cost to a registered importer is often lower than the TTI figure.

Classifying goods under 8531.10.00

Bangladesh HS code 8531.10.00 sits in heading 85.31 of chapter 85 (electrical machinery and equipment; sound and television recorders and reproducers; parts). The first six digits (8531.10) are the international HS sub-heading used by most countries, so a supplier's export invoice will often show the same six digits. The last two digits are Bangladesh's own national split and decide the exact rate.
