HS Code 03025490
Hake (Merluccius spp, Urophycis spp), EXCL. Wrapped/canned upto 2.5 Kg
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 03025490 would be approximately BDT 30,000.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 30% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Hake (Merluccius spp, Urophycis spp), EXCL. Wrapped/canned upto 2.5 Kg is classified under HS code 03025490, which sits in heading 0302 (Fish; fresh or chilled, excluding fish fillets and other fish meat of heading 0304) of chapter 03 (Fish and crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 0%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 0%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 30%, 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 December 2025, NBR recorded commercial imports under 03025490 in 1 of 6 months, totalling 50 kg at an assessable value of BDT 49,946. That is an average of BDT 999 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In December 2025 it was the 3,739th largest of 4,219 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 03 contains 443 tariff lines, averaging 56.53%. At 30%, 03025490 sits below that average by 26.53 percentage points. It is the 402nd most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is cheaper than the typical import by 31.08 points.
Within heading 0302 alone, rates run from 30% to 80.18% across 92 lines. Classification inside a single heading can change the bill substantially, so confirm the eight-digit code rather than working from the four-digit heading.
No supplementary duty applies here, which is the normal case — SD is zero on 78% of the tariff. Where it does apply it usually dominates every other component.
