HS Code 38089291
Fungicides, NES In bulk
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 38089291 would be approximately BDT 39,750.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 39.75% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Fungicides, NES In bulk is classified under HS code 38089291, 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 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 38089291 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 671,440 kg at an assessable value of BDT 204,064,838. That is an average of BDT 304 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 1,252nd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 73,156 kg worth BDT 88,220,465 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 30.2% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 38 contains 139 tariff lines, averaging 43.88%. At 39.75%, 38089291 sits below that average by 4.13 percentage points. It is the 41st 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 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.
