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 $1,500) and 10% VAT on the landed cost. These goods also attract an environmental levy.
