HS Code 33059000
Preparations For Use On The Hair, Nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 33059000 would be approximately BDT 189,200.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 189.2% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Preparations For Use On The Hair, Nes is classified under HS code 33059000, which sits in heading 3305 (Hair preparations; for use on the hair) 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 60%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 20% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 189.2%, 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 33059000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 538,191 kg at an assessable value of BDT 259,797,697. That is an average of BDT 483 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 883rd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 78,675 kg worth BDT 49,575,985 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 16.0% 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 189.2%, 33059000 sits above that average by 66.49 percentage points. It is the 1st 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 128.12 points.
This line carries supplementary duty of 60%. Only 1,633 of 7,469 lines carry any SD at all, and because it is charged after customs and regulatory duty, and VAT is then charged on top of it, it affects the total far more than the rate alone suggests.
