Flax, raw or processed but not spun: Bahamas import duty

Every one of the 4 tariff lines under Heading 5301 (flax, raw or processed but not spun) carries a flat 45% import duty in The Bahamas. It includes flax tow and waste and flax, raw or retted. 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.
