HS Code 30049020
Homeopathic, Biochemic, Ayurvedic, ......mide, bupivacaine, procaine, kaetamine hydrochl
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 30049020 would be approximately BDT 10,000.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 10% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Homeopathic, Biochemic, Ayurvedic, ......mide, bupivacaine, procaine, kaetamine hydrochl is classified under HS code 30049020, which sits in heading 3004 (Medicaments; (not goods of heading no. 3002, 3005 or 3006) consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic use, put up in measured doses (incl. those in the form of transdermal admin. systems) or packed for retail sale) of chapter 30 (Pharmaceutical products).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 5%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 0%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 0%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 10%, 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 30049020 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 79,240 kg at an assessable value of BDT 232,543,370. That is an average of BDT 2,935 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 980th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 30 contains 57 tariff lines, averaging 17.95%. At 10%, 30049020 sits below that average by 7.95 percentage points. It is the 25th 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 51.08 points.
Within heading 3004 alone, rates run from 5% to 64.25% across 18 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.
