Chapter 63 · Section XI: Textiles & clothing
Bed Linen, Curtains & Home Textiles — Bahamas import duty
Chapter 63 covers bed linen, curtains & home textiles. The most common rate is 30% import duty (24 of 61 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 0% to 45%. 8 lines are duty-free. It includes blankets & throws, bed linen & towels and curtains and interior blinds. 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. 4 of these lines also carry excise duty (10%), charged on entry under the Excise Act on top of anything above.
