Clothing (Not Knitted) — Bahamas import duty

Chapter 62 covers clothing (not knitted). The most common rate is 20% import duty (106 of 119 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 0% to 20%. 12 lines are duty-free. It includes men's trousers, jeans & suits, dresses, skirts & womenswear and bras & underwear. 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.
