In an effort to alleviate the cost of living and ensure the affordability of essential commodities, the National Board of Revenue (NBR) of Bangladesh has introduced several pivotal changes to the import tariff structure. These adjustments, which took effect immediately, are aimed at key consumer items such as rice, sugar, dates, and edible oil.

As per the announcement made by the NBR, the customs duty previously imposed on rice imports, which stood at 25%, has been completely eliminated. This move is expected to directly impact the market price of rice, making it more accessible to the general population. Alongside this, the NBR has also removed the value-added tax (VAT) on edible oil, a staple in Bangladeshi cooking, which could potentially lower retail prices and benefit consumers. In regards to sugar imports, the specific duty has been notably reduced from 1,500 taka per ton to 1,000 taka per ton. This reduction is aimed at stabilizing sugar prices within the country, which can fluctuate due to international market conditions and domestic demand.

Furthermore, in a strategic move to support consumers during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the NBR has reduced the import duty on dates from 25% to 15%. Dates are traditionally consumed during Ramadan, and this reduction is intended to make them more affordable during the fasting period. These tariff revisions come at a crucial time when global economic conditions and local factors are driving up the cost of living. By adjusting these tariffs, the Bangladeshi government aims to manage inflation and ensure that basic goods remain within the financial reach of its citizens. The NBR’s proactive measures reflect the government’s commitment to economic stability and its responsiveness to the needs of its population.
