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 $750) and 10% VAT on the landed cost.

Schedule version 2026-2027 · 4 lines shown. Lines tagged verified have been individually checked against the current schedule; the rest are as published in the 2023 Tariff Act.

Rates are import duty only — final classification and charges are determined by Bahamas Customs.
