Machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions — Bahamas import duty
Every one of the 13 tariff lines under Heading 8479 (machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions) carries a flat 45% import duty in The Bahamas. It includes parts, evaporative air coolers and rope or cable-making machines. 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.
