HS Code 24022000
Cigarettes Containing Tobacco
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 24022000 would be approximately BDT 621,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 621.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Cigarettes Containing Tobacco is classified under HS code 24022000, which sits in heading 2402 (Cigars, cheroots, cigarillos and cigarettes; of tobacco or of tobacco substitutes) of chapter 24 (Tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 350%, 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 621.63%, 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 April 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 24022000 in 4 of 6 months, totalling 19 kg at an assessable value of BDT 84,602. That is an average of BDT 4,453 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 4,105th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 8 kg | BDT 28,332 | BDT 3,542 |
| January 2026 | 0 kg | BDT 1,880 | — |
| February 2026 | 8 kg | BDT 53,654 | BDT 6,707 |
| April 2026 | 3 kg | BDT 736 | BDT 245 |
Bonded imports. A further 32,422 kg worth BDT 155,610,393 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. That is over 99.9% of everything imported under this code. In practice this line is an export input rather than a product entering the domestic market, so the duty rates above apply to only a small fraction of the trade.

How this line compares
Chapter 24 contains 21 tariff lines, averaging 331.01%. At 621.63%, 24022000 sits above that average by 290.62 percentage points. It is the 1st 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 560.55 points.
Within heading 2402 alone, rates run from 303.13% to 621.63% across 3 lines. Classification inside a single heading can change the bill substantially, so confirm the eight-digit code rather than working from the four-digit heading.
This line carries supplementary duty of 350%. 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.
