Carpets & Rugs — Bahamas import duty
Chapter 57 covers carpets & rugs. The most common rate is 45% import duty (23 of 24 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 20% to 45%. It includes floor coverings of coconut fibres and tiles, having a maximum surface area of 0.3 m². 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.
