HS Code 29094100
2,2-Oxydiethanol (Diethylene Glycol, Digol)
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 29094100 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
2,2-Oxydiethanol (Diethylene Glycol, Digol) is classified under HS code 29094100, which sits in heading 2909 (Ethers, ether-alcohols, ether-phenols, ether-alcohol-phenols, alcohol peroxides, ether peroxides, acetal and hemiacetal peroxides, ketone peroxides (chemically defined or not), 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 5%, 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 33.63%, 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 29094100 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 2,718,595 kg at an assessable value of BDT 274,859,755. That is an average of BDT 101 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,133rd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 582,750 kg | BDT 59,079,206 | BDT 101 |
| January 2026 | 518,220 kg | BDT 52,784,752 | BDT 102 |
| February 2026 | 273,525 kg | BDT 27,368,592 | BDT 100 |
| March 2026 | 1,032,070 kg | BDT 103,703,063 | BDT 100 |
| April 2026 | 103,630 kg | BDT 10,689,388 | BDT 103 |

Bonded imports. A further 6,335 kg worth BDT 5,562,199 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. Bonded entries account for 2.0% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 29 contains 491 tariff lines, averaging 36.78%. At 33.63%, 29094100 sits below that average by 3.15 percentage points. It is the 229th 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 27.45 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.
