HS Code 17019900
Cane Or Beet Sugar, In Solid Form, Nes Including Chemically Kue Sucoose
What these figures mean
Cane Or Beet Sugar, In Solid Form, Nes Including Chemically Kue Sucoose is classified under HS code 17019900, 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 4000%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, 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 17019900 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 136,121,767 kg at an assessable value of BDT 10,067,103,013. That is an average of BDT 74 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 41st largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 729,000 kg worth BDT 60,238,504 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 0.6% 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.
