Retreaded or used pneumatic tyres of rubber — Bahamas import duty
Heading 4012 (retreaded or used pneumatic tyres of rubber) carries no customs import duty — all 10 tariff lines are free — but these goods pay excise duty instead (25%), charged on entry under the Excise Act rather than the tariff schedule. 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.
