HS Code 20089900
Other fruit, etc, prepared or preserved, nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 20089900 would be approximately BDT 96,100.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 96.1% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other fruit, etc, prepared or preserved, nes is classified under HS code 20089900, which sits in heading 2008 (Fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants; prepared or preserved in ways n.e.c., whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or spirit, not elsewhere specified or included) 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 20%, 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 96.1%, 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 20089900 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 286,906 kg at an assessable value of BDT 111,195,197. That is an average of BDT 388 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,027th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 20 contains 52 tariff lines, averaging 91.05%. At 96.1%, 20089900 sits above that average by 5.05 percentage points. It is the 19th 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 35.02 points.
This line carries supplementary duty of 20%. Only 1,633 of 7,469 lines carry any SD at all, and because it is charged after customs and regulatory duty, and VAT is then charged on top of it, it affects the total far more than the rate alone suggests.
