Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 09042210 would be approximately BDT 58,130.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 58.13% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Fruits of the genus Capsicum ...,: crushed or ground, Wrapped/canned upto 2.5 Kg is classified under HS code 09042210, 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 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 58.13%, 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.

How this line compares
Chapter 09 contains 71 tariff lines, averaging 59.18%. At 58.13%, 09042210 sits below that average by 1.05 percentage points. It is the 27th 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 2.95 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.
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.
