Copper: Bahamas import duty
Chapter 74 covers copper. The most common rate is 45% import duty (27 of 49 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 0% to 45%. 6 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 $1,500) and 10% VAT on the landed cost.
