HS Code 35030090
Gelatin and derivatives; isinglass; glues of animal origin, nes
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 35030090 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Gelatin and derivatives; isinglass; glues of animal origin, nes is classified under HS code 35030090, which sits in heading 3503 (Gelatin (including gelatin in rectangular sheets, whether or not surface-worked or coloured) and gelatin derivatives; isinglass; other glues of animal origin, excluding casein glues of heading no. 3501) of chapter 35 (Albuminoidal substances; modified starches; glues; enzymes).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 10%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 39.75%, 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 35030090 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 266,534 kg at an assessable value of BDT 204,631,488. That is an average of BDT 768 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,062nd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|

| January 2026 | 73,494 kg | BDT 58,521,390 | BDT 796 |
| February 2026 | 32,020 kg | BDT 22,171,188 | BDT 692 |
| March 2026 | 52,253 kg | BDT 32,346,208 | BDT 619 |
| April 2026 | 46,012 kg | BDT 38,993,891 | BDT 847 |

Bonded imports. A further 1,010 kg worth BDT 775,968 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 0.4% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 35 contains 18 tariff lines, averaging 46.79%. At 39.75%, 35030090 sits below that average by 7.04 percentage points. It is the 7th 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 21.33 points.
Within heading 3503 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 39.75% across 2 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.
