HS Code 17011400
Other cane sugar
What these figures mean
Other cane sugar is classified under HS code 17011400, which sits in heading 1701 (Cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose, in solid form) of chapter 17 (Sugars and sugar confectionery).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 3000%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 2%, Regulatory Duty of 15% and Advance Tax of 7.5%.
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 17011400 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 469,630,980 kg at an assessable value of BDT 23,415,582,700. That is an average of BDT 50 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,425th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |

Bonded imports. A further 772,096,655 kg worth BDT 35,925,693,920 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 60.5% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
This is one of 58 specific-duty lines in the 7,469-line tariff. They are concentrated in a few chapters — passenger baggage, steel, fertiliser and sugar — and are the only lines for which no Total Tax Incidence percentage can be published.
The ad-valorem lines in chapter 17 average 88.6%, but that figure cannot be compared with the amounts above, which are sums of money per unit rather than rates.
