HS Code 44029090
Wood charcoal (including shell or nut charcoal), whether or not agglomerated E
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 44029090 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Wood charcoal (including shell or nut charcoal), whether or not agglomerated E is classified under HS code 44029090, which sits in heading 4402 (Wood charcoal (including shell or nut charcoal), whether or not agglomerated) of chapter 44 (Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal).
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 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 64.25%, 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 44029090 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 14,834 kg at an assessable value of BDT 1,495,917. That is an average of BDT 101 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,593rd largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 157 kg | BDT 37,236 | BDT 237 |
| January 2026 | 13,875 kg | BDT 1,243,642 | BDT 90 |

Bonded imports. A further 156 kg worth BDT 38,282 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 2.5% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 44 contains 135 tariff lines, averaging 47.77%. At 64.25%, 44029090 sits above that average by 16.48 percentage points. It is the 42nd most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 3.17 points.
Within heading 4402 alone, rates run from 33.63% to 64.25% across 4 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.
