HS Code 21012000
Extracts, Essences, Concentrates And Preparations Of Tea Or Mate
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 21012000 would be approximately BDT 96,100.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 96.1% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Extracts, Essences, Concentrates And Preparations Of Tea Or Mate is classified under HS code 21012000, which sits in heading 2101 (Extracts, essences, concentrates of coffee, tea or mate; preparations with a basis of these products or with a basis of coffee, tea or mate; roasted chicory and other roasted coffee substitutes and extracts, essences and concentrates thereof) of chapter 21 (Miscellaneous edible preparations).
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 21012000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 181,025 kg at an assessable value of BDT 134,728,673. That is an average of BDT 744 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,318th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 21 contains 23 tariff lines, averaging 103.18%. At 96.1%, 21012000 sits below that average by 7.08 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 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.
