Car Parts & Accessories — Bahamas import duty
Heading 8708 (car parts & accessories) carries no customs import duty — all 42 tariff lines are free — but these goods pay excise duty instead (0%–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 $750) and 10% VAT on the landed cost.
