    But doesn't the receiver usually pay the duty on delivery? If I was contracted to manufacture and ship the plates for them I would fulfill the order, as has been done. It sounds to me the Philippine government is trying to get all their money back by illegally taxing the contractor. I'd tell them to p*ss off as well and never do business with them again.....and I'd tell all my manufacturing friends to avoid them at all costs as well.

    But you know there is seldom an effort made to build business relationship here. I have yet have anyone here modify a business deal if they have tried, successfully or unsuccessfully, to get to me in a business deal. Only the business players in the international scene uderstand the concepts of building a business customer base and growing a business. Why would the government care if they do business with you again? There will just screw the next guy that comes alone as you walk out the door they will say sorry, and spend the cash you left them. There will always be another sucker that will accept the deal, and another Filipino involved in making the deal.

    At least now I know what happened to my F@ckIng license plates. B@stards probably stole the money we all paid in fees for the new plates so there was nothing left to pay the manufacturer for them. Typical day in the PI.

    Why is a government agency forcing duty to be paid on a government contract? Is this normal for governments to do?
