HS Code 38086900
Other
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 38086900 would be approximately BDT 54,500.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 54.5% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other is classified under HS code 38086900, which sits in heading 3808 (Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, anti-sprouting products, plant growth regulators, disinfectants and the like, put up in forms or packings for retail sale or as preparations or articles) of chapter 38 (Miscellaneous chemical products).
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 0%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 54.5%, 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 38086900 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 552,529 kg at an assessable value of BDT 253,738,549. That is an average of BDT 459 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 692nd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 38 contains 139 tariff lines, averaging 43.88%. At 54.5%, 38086900 sits above that average by 10.62 percentage points. It is the 29th 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 6.58 points.
Within heading 3808 alone, rates run from 17.88% to 96.1% across 21 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.
