Regulatory Duty (RD): an additional protective levy applied on top of the customs duty on selected goods.
Value Added Tax (VAT): the consumption tax applied at import; many raw materials and capital machinery enjoy reduced or zero rates.
Supplementary Duty (SD): a further duty layer on luxury, tobacco and other socially-sensitive goods.

Duty rates change through Statutory Regulatory Orders (SROs); always verify the current rate before making trade decisions.
