The Customs Declarations list

The list of customs declarations includes all the customs declarations available in the system. If you don't see a specific document, rearrange the list by date or document number or use the Search field to locate the document by a string in its description, customs or agent name, or amount. You can change the list display settings to suit your particular needs. To learn more about the list display settings, see Working with the item list.

A document of the Customs Declaration type is created in the event of goods being imported to the local market from other countries. The document registers the amount of the imported goods, the customs duty amount, service charges, any penalties, and the amount of VAT that is due under the reverse charge mechanism.

Generally, you can create a new customs declaration manually by entering the data from the actual customs declaration your company or its agent or (agency) used to clear the imported goods with the customs. To simplify the process of creating a new declaration, you can generate it by using the appropriate invoice received (with Import as transaction type) as the basis.

To manually create a new document of the Customs Declaration type, click the Create button on the toolbar.

To edit an existing document, double-click the line with the document in the Customs Declarations list. You can also select the line, right-click it and select Edit or click More actions > Edit on the toolbar.

If you want to view the related documents or review the GL transactions generated for the document, use the toolbar buttons. For more information on the toolbar, If you need to print the selected document, send it by email, or perform other operations, refer to List Toolbar.
