I just got the final quote for the taxes on my DONE4 issued by CX in Sri Lanka.

The Gross price is 591,200LKR, which is US$5435. The taxes and charges are another 117100LKR, or US$1076! This is a tad under 20% extra! I am really shocked by this.

Here is my routing- taken from the word.doc from CX CMB:
