Chapter 74 · Section XV: Base metals & metal goods
Copper — Bahamas import duty
Chapter 74 covers copper. The most common rate is 45% import duty (29 of 49 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 0% to 45%. 2 lines are duty-free. It includes copper mattes, unrefined copper and copper waste and scrap. 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.
