Bahamas Crawfish Faces New US Tariff | Bahamas News
Description
The U.S. slaps a new 12.5% tariff on Bahamian crawfish and stone crab just as the fishing season kicks off—blaming The Bahamas for not fully enforcing forced labor bans. But Bahamian officials insist their seafood sector is clean, and the real hit is just 2.5% extra on top of an existing 10% surcharge. They’re racing to fix laws, lobby for an exemption, and support exporters to keep the $1 billion trade flowing—while trying to avoid a fivefold price spike that could derail the season.
