HS Code 44124900
Laminated veneered lumber (LVL) : Other, with both outer plies of coniferous wood
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 44124900 would be approximately BDT 80,180.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 80.18% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Laminated veneered lumber (LVL) : Other, with both outer plies of coniferous wood is classified under HS code 44124900, which sits in heading 4412 (Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood) 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 10%, 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 80.18%, 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 March 2026 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 44124900 in 2 of 6 months, totalling 109,521 kg at an assessable value of BDT 2,195,184. That is an average of BDT 20 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 2,366th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |

How this line compares
Chapter 44 contains 135 tariff lines, averaging 47.77%. At 80.18%, 44124900 sits above that average by 32.41 percentage points. It is the 4th 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 19.1 points.
This line carries supplementary duty of 10%. Only 1,633 of 7,469 lines carry any SD at all, and because it is charged after customs and regulatory duty, and VAT is then charged on top of it, it affects the total far more than the rate alone suggests.
