HS Code 20011000
Cucumbers And Gherkins,Prepared On Preserved By Vinegar Or Acetic Acid
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 20011000 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Cucumbers And Gherkins,Prepared On Preserved By Vinegar Or Acetic Acid is classified under HS code 20011000, which sits in heading 2001 (Vegetables, fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants; prepared or preserved by vinegar or acetic acid) of chapter 20 (Preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts or other parts of plants).
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.
