Safety fuses — Bahamas import duty
Every one of the 6 tariff lines under Heading 3603 (safety fuses) carries a flat 45% import duty in The Bahamas. It includes igniters, safety fuses and percussion caps. 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.
