HS Code 27079100
Creosote Oils
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 27079100 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Creosote Oils is classified under HS code 27079100, which sits in heading 2707 (Oils and other products of the distillation of high temperature coal tar; similar products in which the weight of the aromatic constituents exceeds that of the non-aromatic constituents) of chapter 27 (Mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation; bituminous substances; mineral waxes).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 10%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 39.75%, 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 27079100 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 409,474 kg at an assessable value of BDT 29,052,348. That is an average of BDT 71 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,847th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 27 contains 83 tariff lines, averaging 41.95%. At 39.75%, 27079100 sits below that average by 2.2 percentage points. It is the 30th most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is cheaper than the typical import by 21.33 points.
No supplementary duty applies here, which is the normal case — SD is zero on 78% of the tariff. Where it does apply it usually dominates every other component.
