HS Code 20091900
Unfrzn.Orange Juice,Unfermented,Not Containing Added Spirit,Sweetened/Not
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 20091900 would be approximately BDT 112,030.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 112.03% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Unfrzn.Orange Juice,Unfermented,Not Containing Added Spirit,Sweetened/Not is classified under HS code 20091900, which sits in heading 2009 (Fruit or nut juices (including grape must and coconut water) and vegetable juices, unfermented, not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter) 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 30%, 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 112.03%, 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 20091900 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 437,434 kg at an assessable value of BDT 70,913,279. That is an average of BDT 162 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,358th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 148,176 kg worth BDT 20,114,633 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 22.1% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 20 contains 52 tariff lines, averaging 91.05%. At 112.03%, 20091900 sits above that average by 20.98 percentage points. It is the 2nd 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 50.95 points.
This line carries supplementary duty of 30%. 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.
