HS Code 30024100
Vaccines for human medicine
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 30024100 would be approximately BDT 24,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 24.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Vaccines for human medicine is classified under HS code 30024100, which sits in heading 3002 (Human blood; animal blood for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic uses; antisera, other blood fractions, immunological products, modified or obtained by biotechnological processes; vaccines, toxins, cultures of micro-organisms (excluding yeasts) etc) of chapter 30 (Pharmaceutical products).
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 2%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 24.5%, 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 30024100 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 186,235 kg at an assessable value of BDT 11,550,844,086. That is an average of BDT 62,023 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 16th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 30 contains 57 tariff lines, averaging 17.95%. At 24.5%, 30024100 sits above that average by 6.55 percentage points. It is the 21st 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 36.58 points.
Within heading 3002 alone, rates run from 5% to 27.5% across 12 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.
