Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 04021010 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Milk&Cream In Powder Forms<=1.5%Fat,Con... Or Sweet.,In Reta.Pk.Upto 2.5kg is classified under HS code 04021010, which sits in heading 0402 (Milk and cream; concentrated or containing added sugar or other sweetening matter) of chapter 04 (Dairy produce; birds' eggs; natural honey; edible products of animal origin).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, 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 64.25%, 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 04021010 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 11,541 kg at an assessable value of BDT 6,128,988. That is an average of BDT 531 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,560th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 3,936 kg worth BDT 2,355,840 entered under the bonded-warehouse regime in the same period — goods brought in duty-free as inputs on the undertaking that they leave again as exports, which in Bangladesh overwhelmingly means ready-made garments. Bonded entries account for 27.8% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 04 contains 43 tariff lines, averaging 63.48%. At 64.25%, 04021010 sits above that average by 0.77 percentage points. It is the 11th 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 3.17 points.
Within heading 0402 alone, rates run from 39.75% to 64.25% across 8 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.
