Washing Machines — Bahamas import duty
Heading 8450 covers washing machines. The most common rate is 5% import duty (4 of 5 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 5% to 45%. It includes washing machines and parts. 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 attracts an environmental levy.
