HS Code 17019100
Cane Or Beet Sugar, Containing Added Flavouring Or Colouring
What these figures mean
Cane Or Beet Sugar, Containing Added Flavouring Or Colouring is classified under HS code 17019100, 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 6000%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 25% 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 February 2026 and February 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 17019100 in 1 of 6 months, totalling 1,200 kg at an assessable value of BDT 112,302. That is an average of BDT 94 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In February 2026 it was the 3,441st largest of 4,051 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |

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.
