Heading 9301 ยท Chapter 93

Military weapons, other than revolvers โ€” Bahamas import duty

Heading 9301 (military weapons, other than revolvers) carries no customs import duty โ€” all 3 tariff lines are free โ€” 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 $750) and 10% VAT on the landed cost.
