HS Code 20021000
Tomatoes, Whole Or In Pieces, Preserved Other Than By Vinegar, Etc
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 20021000 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Tomatoes, Whole Or In Pieces, Preserved Other Than By Vinegar, Etc is classified under HS code 20021000, which sits in heading 2002 (Tomatoes; prepared or preserved otherwise than 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.
Recorded imports
Between December 2025 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 20021000 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 41,615 kg at an assessable value of BDT 5,181,415. That is an average of BDT 125 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,403rd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 20 contains 52 tariff lines, averaging 91.05%. At 64.25%, 20021000 sits below that average by 26.8 percentage points. It is the 35th 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.
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.
