Chassis fitted with engines: Bahamas import duty
Heading 8706 (chassis fitted with engines) carries no customs import duty (all 6 tariff lines are free), but these goods pay excise duty instead (60%), charged on entry under the Excise Act rather than the tariff schedule. Duty is not the whole bill: The Bahamas adds a 1% customs processing fee (minimum $10, maximum $1,500) and 10% VAT on the landed cost.
