So I've priced up a DONE5 Oneworld Explorer ticket (details below), and I have a question about the taxes and charges. The total is running at about 41% of the base fare, which is a bit higher than I'd have expected. On looking at the breakdown on AA.com (also copied below - the block of text is the various taxes, which totals about $450, which is fine), I can see that $1,508.70 of the total of $1,961.19 is down as "Carrier-imposed fees". I don't have any more detail as to which carrier or which flight and the AA rep wouldn't send me any more details.
Would anyone have any idea or recommendations as to how I could potentially reduce these carrier fees (would anyone know which legs are driving the highest ones)? Sorry I'm not sure of the proper way of showing all the details on the below, so I've written it out underneath also for clarity. AA may have grouped them slightly differently as I was just booking them on dummy dates (e.g. grouped Chicago to Honolulu via Anchorage as one flight with a stopover) - not sure if that matters?
Thanks!

I had to tweak the itinerary a bit for autoprice to work. Intra-Asia sectors need to be used before going to Oceania. This is a known glitch for Sabre autoprice.
Considering this itinerary,

In this case, QF charges around 590USD, followed by QR around 550USD, BA around 360USD, JL around 195USD, and a small amount from MH. QF code seems not avoidable for you, but try your best to get on the AA-coded, QR-operated flight. QR charges a lumpsum YQ amount for xONEx, as long as 1 QR sector appears. The QR per-sector YR is small, but this lumpsum YQ is huge. Changing these QR-operated flights to AA code should drop the 520USD YQ from QR.
See this example below.

If you are interested in trying out other routing, I would really appreciate if you can give me the Sabre WQ- entry (which you can see in the beginning of my codes) to enter. Please bear in mind I cannot overcome the glitch. Sabre will not autoprice if Asia-Oceania-Asia is between TPAC and intra-Asia segments. Sabre will only autoprice if Asia-Oceania-Asia is between Asia-Europe and intra-Asia segments.

Any ideas how I can figure this out so I can look into alternatives? Thanks!
Also, the AA agent said they couldn't put me on the AA codeshare of the QR operated flights from CAI-DOH-DFW because there was no business availability, but I'm seeing loads of availability in Expert Flyer, which I don't really understand.
Not sure if it is a POS (Point of Sale) issue. If you are calling AA RTW desk, I suppose the POS should be US? From my POS (Taiwan), I see D2 right now.
