Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the engines — Bahamas import duty
Heading 8409 covers parts suitable for use solely or principally with the engines. The most common rate is 45% import duty (2 of 5 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 0% to 45%. 1 line is duty-free. 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. 1 of these lines also carry excise duty (60%), charged on entry under the Excise Act on top of anything above.
