Drawing — Bahamas import duty
Heading 9017 covers drawing. The most common rate is 45% import duty (5 of 6 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 0% to 45%. 1 line is duty-free. It includes parts and accessories and micrometers, callipers and gauges. 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.
