Animal Feed — Bahamas import duty
Chapter 23 covers animal feed. The most common rate is 45% import duty (22 of 28 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 0% to 45%. 6 lines are duty-free. It includes dog & cat food, bran, sharps and other residues and wine lees. 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.
