Military weapons, other than revolvers: Bahamas import duty
Heading 9301 (military weapons, other than revolvers) 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. 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.
