Is anyone aware what fields are necessary to generate duties and taxes in the response from a FedEx web services RateRequest (SOAP) query? I've been put on a multiple-day hold waiting to hear back from their web services team and have a manager breathing down my neck to try to get a duties and taxes estimate from our shipping rate modules.
I've tried everything I can think of and/or glean from the sparse documentation on the Soap services. Here's an example query I'm sending (php SoapClient data):

[proprietary information altered of course]
There are a number of other fields still 'null' but there are so many, I'm not sure which ones need to be filled in to get duties and taxes estimates back. (all I get is 'NULL' returned for these fields)
