Import Costing Header - Import Costing Charges

There can be several invoices for import costing charges applicable to a shipment, in addition to a variety of charges that may or may not have GST charged. These charges must be entered according to their tax treatment.

The import costing charges are the individual appropriation amounts which are calculated as the total shipment costs divided by the number of appropriations. For example, $30,000 divided by 3,000 kilograms = $10.00 per kilogram.

Where the duty rate on all imported goods is the same, the duty charges are appropriated using this method, along with all other import costing charges.

To enter the import costing charges:

  1. Display the Import Costing Header screen.

Refer to "Maintaining the Import Costing Header".

  1. Leave all fields in the Enter Duty Charge screen blank and select OK.
  2. When you move the cursor to the Total Charges field, Micronet displays the Import Costing Charges screen.

  1. Complete the following fields:

Charges (ex GST)

Micronet displays the total of the charges for the shipment.

 

[Import Charge]

Enter the amount (including GST if applicable) for each import cost charge label.

For example, if you have setup Duty (inc GST) as an import cost charge label, you would enter the duty charge + GST charge for the goods as charged by Customs.
