Solar Panels — Bahamas import duty
Heading 8541 covers solar panels. The most common rate is 45% import duty (9 of 12 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 0% to 45%. 3 lines are duty-free. It includes solar photovoltaic panels and modules, parts and mounted piezo-electric crystals. 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.
