Other firearms and similar devices which operate by the firing: Bahamas import duty

Heading 9303 (other firearms and similar devices which operate by the firing) carries no customs import duty (all 4 tariff lines are free), but these goods pay excise duty instead (85%), 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.
