Oils and other products of the distillation of high temperature: Bahamas import duty
Heading 2707 (oils and other products of the distillation of high temperature) carries no customs import duty (all 7 tariff lines are free), but these goods pay excise duty instead (45%), charged on entry under the Excise Act rather than the tariff schedule. It includes naphthalene, creosote oils and xylol. 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.
