HS Code 06042000
Foliage, branches and other parts of plants, without flowers .or otherwise prepared, Fr
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 06042000 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Foliage, branches and other parts of plants, without flowers .or otherwise prepared, Fr is classified under HS code 06042000, which sits in heading 0604 (Foliage, branches and other parts of plants, without flowers or flower buds, and grasses, mosses and lichens; suitable for bouquets or for ornamental purposes, fresh, dried, dyed, bleached, impregnated etc.) 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 10%, 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 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 06042000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 3,109 kg at an assessable value of BDT 1,586,308. That is an average of BDT 510 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,185th 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 3.17 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.
