HS Code 44034200
Other, of tropical wood: Teak
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 44034200 would be approximately BDT 33,630.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 33.63% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Other, of tropical wood: Teak is classified under HS code 44034200, which sits in heading 4403 (Wood in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared) of chapter 44 (Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 5%, 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 33.63%, 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 April 2026 and April 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 44034200 in 1 of 6 months, totalling 27,240 kg at an assessable value of BDT 1,766,880. That is an average of BDT 65 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In April 2026 it was the 2,615th largest of 4,161 tariff lines by assessable value.

How this line compares
Chapter 44 contains 135 tariff lines, averaging 47.77%. At 33.63%, 44034200 sits below that average by 14.14 percentage points. It is the 70th 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 27.45 points.
Within heading 4403 alone, rates run from 10% to 33.63% across 19 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.
