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 $750) and 10% VAT on the landed cost.
