Any problem/issue must come be with examples. Without example I cannot chase with L3/IT, as thats what they will ask the first thing. 

But I will look for some examples of these issues and follow up. 

If you have them, do send it to me.

Hi, 

Egypt-- When cx is estimating the shipping cost in Cost calculator it is not showing any "Handling fee" but in our system it is showing. Due to this cx are finding huge difference in shipping cost. 

SA- There is no duty in SA but now customers are costing for duty charges. 

Any update on above.
