We investigate transport through a single impurity in metallic zigzag carbon nanotube and find the conductance sensitively depends on the impurity strength and the bias voltage. It is rather interesting that interplay between the current-carrying scattering state and evanescent modes leads to rich phenomena including resonant backward scattering, perfect tunneling and charge accumulations. In addition, we also find a dual relation between the backscattered conductance and the charge accumulation. At the end, relevance to the experiments is discussed.
