Cellulose and its chemical derivatives — Bahamas import duty

It includes cellulose ethers — other, cellulose acetates — plasticised and cellulose acetates — non-plasticised. 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.
