HS Code 24049120
Nicotine pouches
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 24049120 would be approximately BDT 621,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 621.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Nicotine pouches is classified under HS code 24049120, which sits in heading 2404 (Products containing tobacco, reconstituted tobacco, nicotine, or tobacco or nicotine substitutes, intended for inhalation without combustion; other nicotine containing products intended for the intake of nicotine into the human body) 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
NBR recorded no commercial imports under 24049120 between December 2025 and May 2026. That is not unusual — roughly a third of the 7,469 lines in the schedule saw no commercial import in that window. Goods may still have entered under a bonded-warehouse regime, or been declared under a neighbouring code.

How this line compares
Chapter 24 contains 21 tariff lines, averaging 331.01%. At 621.63%, 24049120 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 2404 alone, rates run from 37.3% to 621.63% across 11 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.
