HS Code 03048790
Tunas (of the genus Thunnus), skipjack or stripe-bellied bonito...pelamis), EXCL. Wrappe
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 03048790 would be approximately BDT 69,450.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 69.45% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Tunas (of the genus Thunnus), skipjack or stripe-bellied bonito...pelamis), EXCL. Wrappe is classified under HS code 03048790, 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 0%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 69.45%, 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 May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 03048790 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 784 kg at an assessable value of BDT 329,383. That is an average of BDT 420 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,497th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 03 contains 443 tariff lines, averaging 56.53%. At 69.45%, 03048790 sits above that average by 12.92 percentage points. It is the 30th 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 8.37 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.
