Inner tubes, of rubber: Bahamas import duty
Heading 4013 (inner tubes, of rubber) carries no customs import duty (all 5 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.
