HS Code 29051400
Other Butanols, Nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 29051400 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other Butanols, Nes is classified under HS code 29051400, which sits in heading 2905 (Acyclic alcohols and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives) of chapter 29 (Organic chemicals).
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 29051400 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 137,188 kg at an assessable value of BDT 26,872,104. That is an average of BDT 196 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,830th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
