HS Code 03069990
Other, including flours, meals and pellets of crustaceans, fit for human consumption
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 03069990 would be approximately BDT 45,880.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 45.88% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other, including flours, meals and pellets of crustaceans, fit for human consumption is classified under HS code 03069990, which sits in heading 0306 (Crustaceans; in shell or not, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine; smoked, cooked or not before or during smoking; in shell, steamed or boiled, whether or not chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine) of chapter 03 (Fish and crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 15%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 45.88%, 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 03069990 in 1 of 6 months, totalling 4 kg at an assessable value of BDT 588. That is an average of BDT 147 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In January 2026 it was the 4,170th largest of 4,179 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |

How this line compares
Chapter 03 contains 443 tariff lines, averaging 56.53%. At 45.88%, 03069990 sits below that average by 10.65 percentage points. It is the 354th 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 15.2 points.
Within heading 0306 alone, rates run from 12.5% to 96.1% across 33 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.
