The Lines of Declaration tab provides information on the imported items which are subjected to customs duty and other related charges.
If the declaration includes multiple invoices received, you can add items to this list by clicking the Pick by Documents button and selecting the documents from the list of invoices received. For more details, see Working with the pick operation.
Note. To easily create a declaration that includes multiple invoices received, filter the list of invoices received (Purchasing > Purchasing Documents > Invoices Received), select multiple invoices, and click Generate > Customs Declaration.
According to the UAE customs regulations, on a customs declaration, the goods may be grouped by HS code and country of origin.
For each item listed in the declaration, you are required to specify a code in the HS Code column and the country of origin in the Origin column.
The "Customs Declaration (Import) (create)" form. The Lines of Declaration tab. The Items list
If in the actual customs declaration the items are not grouped by HS code and origin, make sure the Group by H.S. Code and Country of Origin check box is cleared.
If the groups of items are listed in actual customs declaration, select the Group by H.S. Code and Country of Origin check box. Once this option is selected, items in the list are replaced with groups, and an additional table appears in the lower part of the form. This lower table lists the items of the group which is selected in the upper table. For example, in the screenshot below, you can view 3 groups of items in the upper panel ("Seats - MY" and "Furniture - MY" from Malaysia and "Seats - SE" from Singapore) and, in the lower table, 3 items of group 1 ("Furniture") selected in the upper table.
If you need to add items to any group, select the group and use the Pick by Documents button on the toolbar of the lower table.

Make sure that the correct exchange rate for the foreign currency with respect to the national currency is selected in the Rate column–the rate should match the exchange rate from the actually submitted customs declaration, which is not always equal to the exchange rate of the Central Bank. The amounts in the CIF Foreign Value column are converted to the national currency by using the specified exchange rate and are shown in the CIF (AED) column.
Check and correct the duty rate for each group (or item). The duty amounts are calculated based on the CIF (AED) amounts resulted from the currency conversion.
To include the service charge into the base for VAT calculation, select the Include the Service Charge into Import Value (for VAT calculation) check box. This check box appears only if the amount in the Service Charge box is greater than zero.
Use the Allocate Service Charge Amount button on the upper table's toolbar to allocate the service charge amount in the Service Charge column of the upper table proportionally to the group/item amounts specified in the CIF (AED) column.
You can use the Allocate button in the lower table to allocate each group's amounts (from the CIF (AED), Total Duty, and Service Charge columns) within the group proportionally to item amounts in the Invoice Amount column (of the lower table).
The amounts in the VAT Amount (AED) column (lower table) are also the results of allocation of the VAT amounts of corresponding groups.
