The best U. S. export opportunities remain in the traditional areas of foodstuffs and manufactured goods: vehicles and automobile parts ; hotel, restaurant, and medical supplies ; and computers and electronics.

Bahamian tastes in consumer products roughly parallel those in the U. S. With approximately 85 % of the population of primarily African descent, there is a large and growing market in the Bahamas for " ethnic " personal care products.

Merchants in southern Florida have found it profitable to advertise in Bahamian publications.

Most imports in this sector are subject to high but nondiscriminatory tariffs.
