HS Code 35040000
Peptones/protein substances and derivatives, nes; hide powder
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 35040000 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Peptones/protein substances and derivatives, nes; hide powder is classified under HS code 35040000, which sits in heading 3504 (Peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their derivatives n.e.c. or included; hide powder, whether or not chromed) 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 35040000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 14,546 kg at an assessable value of BDT 136,575,285. That is an average of BDT 9,389 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,079th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 35 contains 18 tariff lines, averaging 46.79%. At 39.75%, 35040000 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.
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.
