HS Code 06031500
Lilies (Lilium spp)
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 06031500 would be approximately BDT 82,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 82.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Lilies (Lilium spp) is classified under HS code 06031500, 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.
Recorded imports
Between December 2025 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 06031500 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 11,464 kg at an assessable value of BDT 5,799,116. That is an average of BDT 506 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,739th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 21.55 points.
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.
