HS Code 17022000
Maple Sugar And Maple Syrup
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 17022000 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Maple Sugar And Maple Syrup is classified under HS code 17022000, which sits in heading 1702 (Sugars, including lactose, maltose, glucose or fructose in solid form; sugar syrups without added flavouring or colouring matter; artificial honey, whether or not mixed with natural honey; caramel) of chapter 17 (Sugars and sugar confectionery).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 64.25%, 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 April 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 17022000 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 13,810 kg at an assessable value of BDT 2,618,121. That is an average of BDT 190 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 3,617th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 17 contains 21 tariff lines, averaging 88.6%. At 64.25%, 17022000 sits below that average by 24.35 percentage points. It is the 9th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 3.17 points.
Within heading 1702 alone, rates run from 64.25% to 96.1% across 10 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.
