HS Code 31051000
Fertilizers... In Packages Of A Gross Weight =<10kg
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 31051000 would be approximately BDT 7,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 7.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Fertilizers... In Packages Of A Gross Weight =<10kg is classified under HS code 31051000, which sits in heading 3105 (Fertilizers; mineral or chemical, containing 2 or 3 of the elements nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium; other fertilisers; goods of chapter 31 in tablets or packages of gross weight not exceeding 10kg) of chapter 31 (Fertilisers).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 0%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 0%, Advance Income Tax of 0%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 7.5%, 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 February 2026 and April 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 31051000 in 2 of 6 months, totalling 7 kg at an assessable value of BDT 16,421. That is an average of BDT 2,346 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 3,884th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |

How this line compares
Chapter 31 contains 26 tariff lines, averaging 14.63%. At 7.5%, 31051000 sits below that average by 7.13 percentage points. It is the 10th 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 53.58 points.
Within heading 3105 alone, rates run from 5% to 12.5% across 8 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.
