HS Code 33012900
Essential Oils (Incl. Concretes And Absolutes), Nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 33012900 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Essential Oils (Incl. Concretes And Absolutes), Nes is classified under HS code 33012900, which sits in heading 3301 (Oils; essential (concretes, absolutes); concentrates thereof in fats, fixed oils, waxes or the like (obtained by enfleurage or maceration); aqueous distillates, solutions and terpenic by-products thereof; resinoids; extracted oleoresins) of chapter 33 (Essential oils and resinoids; perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 64.25%, 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.

That is an average of BDT 1,204 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,056th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 3.17 points.
