Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included — Bahamas import duty
Most food preparations not elsewhere specified or included are duty-free: 6 of 7 tariff lines under Heading 2106 carry no import duty, and the rest run up to 20%. 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.
