Works trucks, self- propelled — Bahamas import duty
Heading 8709 (works trucks, self- propelled) carries no customs import duty — all 3 tariff lines are free — but these goods pay excise duty instead (45%), charged on entry under the Excise Act rather than the tariff schedule. It includes parts and electrical. 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.
