Re: Where your Tsunami donations went...
While a little outragous that they have done this you have to remember that the import duty will end up with the SriLanken Govt who then have more money to spend on rebuilding the country, the problem being that this may then be directed in a way the Charity may not desire, though I don't think the Sri Lanken govt is particularly corrupt.

It would be very different if the supplier of the vehicles was charging a premium due to the destination, the money will end up in the country that needs it.
