HS Code 07096019
Sweet Peppers, Fresh Or Chilled, Nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 07096019 would be approximately BDT 61,000.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 61% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Sweet Peppers, Fresh Or Chilled, Nes is classified under HS code 07096019, which sits in heading 0709 (Vegetables; n.e.c. in chapter 07, 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 25%, Supplementary Duty of 20%, VAT of 0%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 0%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 61%, 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 07096019 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 2,987 kg at an assessable value of BDT 689,240. That is an average of BDT 231 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,165th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 07 contains 153 tariff lines, averaging 52.55%. At 61%, 07096019 sits above that average by 8.45 percentage points. It is the 71st 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 0.08 points.
Within heading 0709 alone, rates run from 55% to 96.1% across 34 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.
This line carries supplementary duty of 20%. Only 1,633 of 7,469 lines carry any SD at all, and because it is charged after customs and regulatory duty, and VAT is then charged on top of it, it affects the total far more than the rate alone suggests.
