Glassware & Drinkware: Bahamas import duty

Most glassware & drinkware are duty-free: 9 of 15 tariff lines under Heading 7013 carry no import duty, and the rest run up to 45%. 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. 8 of these lines also carry excise duty (5%), charged on entry under the Excise Act on top of anything above.
