HS Code 27111100
Natural Gas, Liquefied
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 27111100 would be approximately BDT 9,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 9.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Natural Gas, Liquefied is classified under HS code 27111100, which sits in heading 2711 (Petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons) 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 0%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 0%, Advance Income Tax of 2%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 9.5%, 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 27111100 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 3,772,598,065 kg at an assessable value of BDT 251,568,044,070. That is an average of BDT 67 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1st largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 27 contains 83 tariff lines, averaging 41.95%. At 9.5%, 27111100 sits below that average by 32.45 percentage points. It is the 79th 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 51.58 points.
Within heading 2711 alone, rates run from 9.5% to 33.63% across 8 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.
