HS Code 06023000
Rhododendrons And Azaleas, Grafted Or Not
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 06023000 would be approximately BDT 20,000.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 20% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Rhododendrons And Azaleas, Grafted Or Not is classified under HS code 06023000, which sits in heading 0602 (Plants, live; n.e.c. in heading no. 0601, (including their roots) cuttings and slips; mushroom spawn) of chapter 06 (Live trees and other plants; bulbs, roots; cut flowers and ornamental foliage).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 15%, 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 20%, 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.
