HS Code 44079200
Beech Wood (Fagus Spp.) Sawn/Chipped Lengthwise Sliced Or Peeled >6m Thick
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 44079200 would be approximately BDT 17,880.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 17.88% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Beech Wood (Fagus Spp.) Sawn/Chipped Lengthwise Sliced Or Peeled >6m Thick is classified under HS code 44079200, which sits in heading 4407 (Wood sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or finger-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6mm) 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 0%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 0% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 17.88%, 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 44079200 in 5 of 6 months, totalling 891,496 kg at an assessable value of BDT 89,923,380. 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 1,236th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.

Bonded imports. A further 9,997 kg worth BDT 1,653,763 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 1.8% 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 17.88%, 44079200 sits below that average by 29.89 percentage points. It is the 112th 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 43.2 points.
Within heading 4407 alone, rates run from 17.88% to 33.63% 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.
