Chapter 85 · Section XVI: Machinery & electronics

Electronics & Electrical Equipment — Bahamas import duty

Chapter 85 covers electronics & electrical equipment. The most common rate is 45% import duty (175 of 353 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 0% to 300%. 54 lines are duty-free. It includes generators, disposable batteries and rechargeable batteries & power banks. 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. 2 of these lines also attract an environmental levy. 4 of these lines also carry excise duty (60%), charged on entry under the Excise Act on top of anything above.

Schedule version 2026-2027 · 353 lines shown. Lines tagged verified have been individually checked against the current schedule; the rest are as published in the 2023 Tariff Act. Lines marked + excise tax are free of customs duty but carry excise on entry — that rate is set by the Excise Act and is not part of this schedule. Rates are import duty only — final classification and charges are determined by Bahamas Customs.
