Exercise & Sports Equipment — Bahamas import duty
Heading 9506 covers exercise & sports equipment. The most common rate is 20% import duty (19 of 20 tariff lines), with rates ranging from 0% to 20%. 1 line is duty-free. It includes exercise and gym equipment, articles and equipment for table-tennis and golf clubs and other golf equipment — balls. 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.
