Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical — Bahamas import duty
Every one of the 6 tariff lines under Heading 8535 (electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical) carries a flat 5% import duty in The Bahamas. It includes fuses, automatic circuit breakers — other and isolating switches and make-and-break switches. 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.
