How to show Customs Tax cost in cart?

[jomeza001]

using the latest version of zen Cart 1.3.9 CLEAN INSTALL no mod packs yet.

I wonder how do i get the Tax cost to show in the "My car" window??

In my case i will be selling tangible goods from US to MEXICO exclusively and i need to show the TAX in the "my car" window.

Right now the window will show the sub total which is the sum of TAX AND price.

Any help will be really appreciated.

Bigger question is why do you think you need to be charging tax in this situation?

[jomeza001]

Since i'm selling to the final consumer, i'm doing all the export process including paying custom taxes so the final cunsomer does not have to go through the hassle process. It is a very long process for someone who just want an accesory part for his car. That is the reason.

How do you even calculate what the customs tax is?
If it's a "set amount", why not just add an attribute to the product which denotes the cost of customs taxes which you're charging them. That way it'll be included in the shopping basket automatically.

Customs fee is flat 17% of the total. And since i'm not selling within my country i can easily use the TAX attribute for this purpose. I want however to show this 17% Tax in the shoping car.

Anyone?

Zen Cart doesn't show added taxes in the shopping cart.
