Aluminium — Bahamas import duty
Chapter 76 covers aluminium. The most common rate is 45% import duty (22 of 41 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 0% to 45%. 4 lines are duty-free. It includes unwrought aluminium, aluminium waste and scrap and aluminium powders and flakes. 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.
