HS Code 15071000
CRUDE OIL, WHETHER OR NOT DEGUMMED
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 15071000 would be approximately BDT 22,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 22.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
CRUDE OIL, WHETHER OR NOT DEGUMMED is classified under HS code 15071000, which sits in heading 1507 (Soya-bean oil and its fractions; whether or not refined, but not chemically modified) of chapter 15 (Animal, vegetable or microbial fats and oils; prepared edible fats; animal or vegetable waxes).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 0%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, 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 22.5%, 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 15071000 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 168,309,511 kg at an assessable value of BDT 24,335,987,975. That is an average of BDT 145 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 30th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |

Bonded imports. A further 302,503,621 kg worth BDT 44,296,081,673 entered under the bonded-warehouse regime in the same period — goods brought in duty-free as inputs on the undertaking that they leave again as exports, which in Bangladesh overwhelmingly means ready-made garments. Bonded entries account for 64.5% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 15 contains 61 tariff lines, averaging 47.32%. At 22.5%, 15071000 sits below that average by 24.82 percentage points. It is the 57th 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 38.58 points.
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.
