Crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates — Bahamas import duty
Every one of the 18 tariff lines under Heading 1605 (crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates) carries a flat 20% import duty in The Bahamas. It includes crab, lobster and molluscs — other. 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.
