How the estimate is worked out
The calculator adds up everything you pay to get a package from a US store to your door in The Bahamas, in the same order Bahamas Customs does:
- Freight, by weight or size: a flat $8.99 up to 5 lb, then per pound.
- Customs duty, a percentage of what you paid, set by item type. Many everyday items are duty free; clothing and shoes pay 20%, TVs 35%. See the Bahamas duty rates.
- Environmental levy, a flat fee on some goods such as TVs, phones and appliances.
- Customs processing fee: $10 minimum or 1% of the invoice value, with a $1,000 maximum.
- VAT: 10% of the landed cost, meaning the item, freight, duty, levy and processing fee together.
The estimate uses the price you enter, so keep your store invoice: Customs clears packages on the price you actually paid. For more on how each charge works, read our guide to Bahamas customs duty.
