HS Code 34039100
Lub.Preparations For Treatement Of Tex. Leather Etc, Nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 34039100 would be approximately BDT 52,000.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 52% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Lub.Preparations For Treatement Of Tex. Leather Etc, Nes is classified under HS code 34039100, which sits in heading 3403 (Lubricating preparations and those used in oil or grease treatment of textile and similar materials; excluding preparations containing 70% or more (by weight) of petroleum or bituminous mineral oils) of chapter 34 (Soap, organic surface-active agents, washing and lubricating preparations, waxes, candles, modelling pastes).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 15%, 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 52%, 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

That is an average of BDT 214 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,078th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
