Other manufactured tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes: Bahamas import duty
Heading 2403 (other manufactured tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes) carries no customs import duty (all 8 tariff lines are free), but these goods pay excise duty instead (220%), charged on entry under the Excise Act rather than the tariff schedule. It includes snuff, fine cut and chewing tobacco. 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.
