HS Code 28299090
CHLORATED AND PERCHLORATE; BROMATES AND PERBROMATES: IODATES AND PERIODATES, NES
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 28299090 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
CHLORATED AND PERCHLORATE; BROMATES AND PERBROMATES: IODATES AND PERIODATES, NES is classified under HS code 28299090, which sits in heading 2829 (Chlorates and perchlorates; bromates and perbromates; iodates and periodates) of chapter 28 (Inorganic chemicals; compounds of precious metals, rare-earth metals, radioactive elements or isotopes).
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 28299090 in 4 of 6 months, totalling 124 kg at an assessable value of BDT 191,757. That is an average of BDT 1,546 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,609th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 10 kg | BDT 93,938 | BDT 9,394 |
| February 2026 | 0 kg | BDT 627 | — |
| March 2026 | 103 kg | BDT 72,255 | BDT 702 |
| May 2026 | 11 kg | BDT 24,937 | BDT 2,267 |
Bonded imports. A further 16,560 kg worth BDT 6,350,541 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 97.1% 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 28 contains 200 tariff lines, averaging 38.13%. At 39.75%, 28299090 sits above that average by 1.62 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 cheaper than the typical import by 21.33 points.
Within heading 2829 alone, rates run from 27.5% to 39.75% across 4 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.
