Frequently asked questions
How much duty will I pay on a TV?
For TVs and major appliances the combined customs duty, regulatory duty, VAT and advance tax commonly works out to roughly half the declared value, but the exact assessment depends on size, model and the officer's valuation. Edit the rates to match what the airport quotes.
Is a laptop duty-free?
One laptop for personal use is generally allowed duty-free with a declaration on arrival. Rules change often — verify before you fly.
What about used household goods (Transfer of Residence)?
Returning after a long stay abroad may qualify for concessional assessment on used household items. Conditions and value caps are set by Bangladesh Customs — keep your receipts and check the current rules.
Why is every rate editable?
Baggage rules change often and assessments vary by officer. The tool gives the structure; you keep the numbers honest by matching what your own airport quote says.
