HS Code 33021010
Of a kind used in beve. and food indus., cont. alcohol <0.5 absolute per volume or free from alcohol
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 33021010 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Of a kind used in beve. and food indus., cont. alcohol <0.5 absolute per volume or free from alcohol is classified under HS code 33021010, which sits in heading 3302 (Odoriferous substances and mixtures (including alcoholic solutions) with a basis of one or more of these substances, of a kind used as raw materials in industry; other preparations based on odoriferous substances, of a kind used for beverage manufacture) 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.
Recorded imports
Between December 2025 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 33021010 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 402,291 kg at an assessable value of BDT 525,599,736. That is an average of BDT 1,307 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,196th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 26,200 kg worth BDT 39,304,836 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 7.0% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 33 contains 33 tariff lines, averaging 122.71%. At 64.25%, 33021010 sits below that average by 58.46 percentage points. It is the 23rd most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 3.17 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.
