HS Code 03048710
Tunas (of the genus Thunnus), skipjack or stripe-bellied bonito...pelamis),Wrapped/canne
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 03048710 would be approximately BDT 80,180.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 80.18% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Tunas (of the genus Thunnus), skipjack or stripe-bellied bonito...pelamis),Wrapped/canne is classified under HS code 03048710, which sits in heading 0304 (Fish fillets and other fish meat (whether or not minced); fresh, chilled or frozen) 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 10%, 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 80.18%, 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 January 2026 and January 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 03048710 in 1 of 6 months, totalling 819 kg at an assessable value of BDT 153,288.

How this line compares
Chapter 03 contains 443 tariff lines, averaging 56.53%. At 80.18%, 03048710 sits above that average by 23.65 percentage points. It is the 5th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 19.1 points.
Within heading 0304 alone, rates run from 54.5% to 96.1% across 96 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.
This line carries supplementary duty of 10%. Only 1,633 of 7,469 lines carry any SD at all, and because it is charged after customs and regulatory duty, and VAT is then charged on top of it, it affects the total far more than the rate alone suggests.
