Yeah, I know right. How do I bring this up to their attention?
You should. AFAIK the tax calculation is done automatically in the system, based on the total amount of your purchase x 6%. Therefore, I also dunno why got such mistake.

Its been a long time since i last ordered stuff from taobao.i was suprised that there r now a compulsory 6% tax of total purchase amount for sea shipping. Now sea shipping is not the cheapest option anymore
Is there any 3rd party forwarder that offers sea shipping?can help recommend some?
Do they charge 6% tax too or only taobao official sea shipping has this rule?
Is the 6% tax also applicable to offical air shipping?
You still can use 3rd party sea shipping which doesn't incurred 6% tax. (包税)
Official air shipping no 6% tax but there is 6% tax if you unlucky & picked by custom.
Therefore, normally I advise ppl dun use official shipper for high value item. Anything less than RM500 is safe.
