We're dealing with the supply of marble and limestone for a central Moscow Hotel refurb on a floor by floor basis.
The first order has been placed for one floor and the total cost of goods is £16,000.
We can physically get this order there for around the £2000 but the shocker is the import duty. I knew this would be substantial...but I wasn't quite expecting the USD$43,000 we've been quoted.
I know how much corruption there is in Moscow but need to know if this is the going rate.
Anyone have any experience of this? I've put out a few feelers with some Architects I know that have offices out there but the more the merrier.
