Prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores — Bahamas import duty
Heading 3824 covers prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores. The most common rate is 45% import duty (15 of 19 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 0% to 45%. 1 line is duty-free. It includes non-refractory mortars and concretes, prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores and sorbitol other than that of subheading 2905.44. 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.
