Files, rasps, pliers, pincers, tweezers — Bahamas import duty

It includes files, rasps and similar tools, metal cutting shears and similar tools and pliers, pincers, tweezers and similar tools. 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.
