I know what you mean - the disconnect I wonder about is - my CIEMs should be taxed at the figure I am paying for the reshelling - but if Heir is going to insure them for replacement value (as I am pretty sure they do) - how does the taxing authority view the taxable amount? The repair charge? Or the actual value? I am pretty confident the US won't charge for an item twice, but who is to say what another, more draconian tax authority might charge.
Taxing is a fairly complicated issue drastically different from country to country, and more interestingly from shipment to shipment pending on the declarations submitted. Generally if proven, the repair should not be recharged, but again too many tax officers try to view this on their own.
