HS Code 12077090
Other Melon seeds, EXCL. Wrapped/canned upto 2.5 Kg
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 12077090 would be approximately BDT 5,000.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other Melon seeds, EXCL. Wrapped/canned upto 2.5 Kg is classified under HS code 12077090, which sits in heading 1207 (Oil seeds and oleaginous fruits, n.e.c. in chapter 12; whether or not broken) of chapter 12 (Oil seeds and oleaginous fruits; miscellaneous grains, seeds and fruit; industrial or medicinal plants; straw and fodder).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 0%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 0%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 0%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 5%, 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 12077090 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 29,439 kg at an assessable value of BDT 64,426,715. That is an average of BDT 2,188 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,583rd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 12 contains 91 tariff lines, averaging 22.9%. At 5%, 12077090 sits below that average by 17.9 percentage points. It is the 68th 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 56.08 points.
Within heading 1207 alone, rates run from 0% to 64.25% across 20 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.
