Chapter 72 · Section XV: Base metals & metal goods
Iron & Steel — Bahamas import duty
Chapter 72 covers iron & steel. The most common rate is 45% import duty (145 of 167 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 5% to 45%. It includes ferro-alloys, ferrous waste and scrap and wire of iron or non-alloy steel. 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.
