Why?")* Hi, That's a good point. I looked at the history of the changes around this and as far as I can go back, it has always been like that for no particular reason. I think this could be changed by changing the line: Code: $cart->package['zone'] = $zone_id; to: Code: $cart->package['zone'] = $tax_zone_id; and the line: Code: $currencyClass->processShippings($cart->usable_methods->shipping, $cart, $zone_id); to: Code: $currencyClass->processShippings($cart->usable_methods->shipping, $cart, $tax_zone_id); in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/cart.php Can you confirm that this solves the problem for you ?
