Machine-tools for working any material by removal of material — Bahamas import duty
Every one of the 7 tariff lines under Heading 8456 (machine-tools for working any material by removal of material) carries a flat 45% import duty in The Bahamas. It includes water-jet cutting machines, operated by ultrasonic processes and operated by plasma arc processes. 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.
