Every one of the 11 tariff lines under Chapter 13 (gums, resins & plant extracts) carries a flat 35% import duty in The Bahamas. It includes lac, vegetable saps and extracts and gum arabic. Duty is not the whole bill: The Bahamas adds a 1% customs processing fee (minimum $10, maximum $1,500) and 10% VAT on the landed cost.
