HS Code 27101919
Fuel oil, NES
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 27101919 would be approximately BDT 61,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 61.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Fuel oil, NES is classified under HS code 27101919, which sits in heading 2710 (Petroleum oils and oils from bituminous minerals, not crude; preparations n.e.c, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or oils from bituminous minerals; these being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils) 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 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 2%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 61.25%, 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 27101919 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 1,958 kg at an assessable value of BDT 2,594,776. That is an average of BDT 1,325 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,906th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 27 contains 83 tariff lines, averaging 41.95%. At 61.25%, 27101919 sits above that average by 19.3 percentage points. It is the 12th 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 0.17 points.
Within heading 2710 alone, rates run from 28.18% to 64.25% across 39 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.
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.
