HS Code 08041021
Dates, Dried, Wrapped/Canned Upto 2.5kg
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 08041021 would be approximately BDT 43,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 43.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Dates, Dried, Wrapped/Canned Upto 2.5kg is classified under HS code 08041021, which sits in heading 0804 (Dates, figs, pineapples, avocados, guavas, mangoes and mangosteens; fresh or dried) 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 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 0%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 0%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 43.75%, 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 08041021 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 11,760 kg at an assessable value of BDT 3,431,858. That is an average of BDT 292 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,927th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 08 contains 151 tariff lines, averaging 93.73%. At 43.75%, 08041021 sits below that average by 49.98 percentage points. It is the 151st 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 17.33 points.
Within heading 0804 alone, rates run from 43.75% to 121.78% across 18 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.
