Other Animal Products — Bahamas import duty
Chapter 05 covers other animal products. The most common rate is 35% import duty (15 of 20 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 0% to 35%. 5 lines are duty-free. It includes skins and other parts of birds, coral and similar materials and feathers of a kind used for stuffing; down. Duty is not the whole bill: The Bahamas adds a 1% customs processing fee (minimum $10, maximum $750) and 10% VAT on the landed cost.
