- Ronald, I have the same problem when I export to some of the Central
- American companies. On some products, taxes/duties/VAT is as much as 25%.
- And those of us in the US may have the same problem in reverse if we order
- from overseas? It would help if all countries had some standardization, but
- they don't. I have worked on this problem for the last 90 days to no avail.
- BUT, if I find a decent solution in my personal business, I will pass it on
- here.
