BBC NEWS | South Asia | Oxfam pays $1m tsunami aid duty: "British charity Oxfam has had to pay the Sri Lankan government $1m in import duty for vehicles used in tsunami reconstruction work.
Paperwork had kept the 25 four-wheel drive vehicles idle in the capital, Colombo, for a month.
The Sri Lankan government told the BBC News website the aid had been duty-free until the end of April but was now needed to prevent 'market distortions'."
