HS Code 29362700
Vitamin C And Its Derivatives, Unmixed
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 29362700 would be approximately BDT 27,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 27.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Vitamin C And Its Derivatives, Unmixed is classified under HS code 29362700, which sits in heading 2936 (Provitamins, vitamins; natural or reproduced by synthesis (including natural concentrates) derivatives thereof used as vitamins, and intermixtures of the fore-going, whether or not in any solvent) of chapter 29 (Organic chemicals).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 0%, 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 27.5%, 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 29362700 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 396,048 kg at an assessable value of BDT 218,602,582. That is an average of BDT 552 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,152nd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 1,001 kg worth BDT 475,335 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 0.2% 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 27.5%, 29362700 sits below that average by 9.28 percentage points. It is the 445th 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 33.58 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.
