Other moving, grading, levelling, scraping, excavating — Bahamas import duty
Every one of the 9 tariff lines under Heading 8430 (other moving, grading, levelling, scraping, excavating) carries a flat 45% import duty in The Bahamas. It includes snow-ploughs and snow- blowers and pile-drivers and pile- extractors. 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.
