HS Code 07031019
Onions, Fresh Or Chilled, Nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 07031019 would be approximately BDT 10,000.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 10% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Onions, Fresh Or Chilled, Nes is classified under HS code 07031019, which sits in heading 0703 (Onions, shallots, garlic, leeks and other alliaceous vegetables; fresh or chilled) of chapter 07 (Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 5%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 0%, Advance Income Tax of 0%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 0%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 10%, 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 07031019 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 73,660,668 kg at an assessable value of BDT 3,799,318,815. That is an average of BDT 52 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,931st largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 07 contains 153 tariff lines, averaging 52.55%. At 10%, 07031019 sits below that average by 42.55 percentage points. It is the 138th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is cheaper than the typical import by 51.08 points.
Within heading 0703 alone, rates run from 7% 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.
