Cotton: Bahamas import duty
Chapter 52 covers cotton. The most common rate is 30% import duty (70 of 124 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 10% to 45%. It includes cotton, not carded or combed, cotton waste and cotton, carded or combed. 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.
