HS Code 06031400
Chrysanthemums
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 06031400 would be approximately BDT 82,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 82.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Chrysanthemums is classified under HS code 06031400, which sits in heading 0603 (Flowers; cut flowers and flower buds of a kind suitable for bouquets or for ornamental purposes, fresh, dried, dyed, bleached, impregnated or otherwise prepared) 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 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 20% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 82.63%, 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.

That is an average of BDT 507 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,143rd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
