Fuels, Oils & Waxes — Bahamas import duty
All 58 tariff lines under Chapter 27 (fuels, oils & waxes) enter The Bahamas duty-free — 0% import duty. It includes coal, pitch and pitch coke and petroleum jelly. 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. 57 of these lines also carry excise duty (0%–45%, plus per-gallon rates on some lines), charged on entry under the Excise Act on top of anything above.
