HS Code 08021210
Almonds Shelled Fresh Or Dried,Wrapped/Canned Upto 2.5kg
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 08021210 would be approximately BDT 96,100.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 96.1% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Almonds Shelled Fresh Or Dried,Wrapped/Canned Upto 2.5kg is classified under HS code 08021210, which sits in heading 0802 (Nuts (excluding coconuts, Brazils and cashew nuts); fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled) of chapter 08 (Edible fruit and nuts; peel of citrus fruit or melons).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 20%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 96.1%, 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 March 2026 and March 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 08021210 in 1 of 6 months, totalling 10 kg at an assessable value of BDT 5,006. That is an average of BDT 501 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In March 2026 it was the 3,889th largest of 4,054 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 08 contains 151 tariff lines, averaging 93.73%. At 96.1%, 08021210 sits above that average by 2.37 percentage points. It is the 64th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 35.02 points.
Within heading 0802 alone, rates run from 64.25% to 135.91% across 37 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.
