1. The duty and tax shown in Country tab of admin is only an indicative average duty/tax. It is not always the same. 

2. The exact duty and tax depends on product category. Each product category is assigned a unique number called 'Harmonization code'. 
You can check the Harmonization code in admin next to Description and looks like this: 8708990000 

3. You have the Product Master excel file in KB; which contains duty/tax rate Borderlinx follows for each product type. Search harmonization code or product type and then go to Country column to check duty and tax rates. 

4. Duty is calculated on the CIF Value (Cost of Goods+Insurance+Freight). Freight has two parts: Shipping Cost and Fuel Surcharge. 

5. Tax is calculated on CIF+Duty. 

6. If shipment is going to Turkey, Kuwait or Egypt.There will be Customs Clearance fee added. Refer KB for the %. 

Refer the example below sent me for Egypt Case. 

Product Category is 'auto part-others'.

If customer thinks the duty and taxes are not correct. He should provide some official documentation providing the reference to duties and taxes.
