Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 08059019 would be approximately BDT 121,780.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 121.78% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Citrus Fruit, Fresh Nes, Nes is classified under HS code 08059019, which sits in heading 0805 (Citrus fruit; 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 30%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 20% and Advance Tax of 0%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 121.78%, 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.

That is an average of BDT 86 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In March 2026 it was the 1,895th largest of 4,054 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 08 contains 151 tariff lines, averaging 93.73%. At 121.78%, 08059019 sits above that average by 28.05 percentage points. It is the 8th 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 60.7 points.
This line carries supplementary duty of 30%. 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.
