peter turnquest mentioned it on the debate. duty "adds value" to the product.
For example, 20,000 car is valued at 33,000 in the bahamas, so you pay vat on that.
also vat goes on service, the shipping company provided a service, so the govt takes a slice.
the waiter at the restaurant, gave you service, so you pay vat on the tip that you paid him for his services [ although there are exceptions in this case]
the joneser who washed your car gave you service and you should pay vat, but thankfully, he is not a vat registrant.
