HS Code 15119090
Palm Oil(Excl.Cude)&Its Fractns....Nes.Incld.Refiend Palm Oil
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 15119090 would be approximately BDT 22,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 22.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Palm Oil(Excl.Cude)&Its Fractns....Nes.Incld.Refiend Palm Oil is classified under HS code 15119090, which sits in heading 1511 (Palm 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 15119090 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 485,976,535 kg at an assessable value of BDT 65,081,236,379. That is an average of BDT 134 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 10th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 443,971,816 kg worth BDT 59,413,994,784 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 47.7% 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%, 15119090 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.
Within heading 1511 alone, rates run from 18.25% to 64.25% across 4 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.
