Heading 4013 ยท Chapter 40

Inner tubes, of rubber โ€” Bahamas import duty

Heading 4013 (inner tubes, of rubber) carries no customs import duty โ€” all 5 tariff lines are free โ€” 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.
