Footwear: Bahamas import duty
Every one of the 27 tariff lines under Chapter 64 (footwear) carries a flat 20% import duty in The Bahamas. It includes leather footwear, sneakers & textile footwear and parts of footwear. 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.
