HS Code 09041110
Pepper,Neither Crushed Nor Ground, Wrapped/Canned upto 2.5 kg
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 09041110 would be approximately BDT 83,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 83.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Pepper,Neither Crushed Nor Ground, Wrapped/Canned upto 2.5 kg is classified under HS code 09041110, which sits in heading 0904 (Pepper of the genus piper; dried or crushed or ground fruits of the genus capsicum or of the genus pimenta) of chapter 09 (Coffee, tea, mate and spices).
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 0%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 83.75%, 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 May 2026 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 09041110 in 1 of 6 months, totalling 2 kg at an assessable value of BDT 95,719. That is an average of BDT 47,860 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,351st largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 09 contains 71 tariff lines, averaging 59.18%. At 83.75%, 09041110 sits above that average by 24.57 percentage points. It is the 20th 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 22.67 points.
Within heading 0904 alone, rates run from 15% to 88.75% across 7 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.
