According to the UAE customs regulations, on a customs declaration, the goods may be grouped by HS code and country of origin. In this case, the list of goods on the invoice received which was used as the basis will differ from the list on the declaration.
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.
You are required to specify for each item an HS code and the country of origin.
You create a list of items or add more items to the existing 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.

Optionally, you can group the items by HS code and country of origin. For this, select the Group by H.S. Code and Country of Origin option.
Once the option is selected, some 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, you can use the Pick by Documents button on the toolbar of the lower table.

Make sure that the correct exchange rate (from the actually submitted customs declaration) for the foreign currency with respect to the national currency is selected in the Rate column. The amounts in the CIF Foreign Value column are converted to the national currency by using the specified 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 VAT calculation, select the Include the Service Charge into Import Value (for VAT calculation) check box and click the Allocate Service Charge Amount button. This check box appears only if the amount in the Service Charge box is greater than zero. Once you click Allocate Service Charge Amount, the service charge amount will be allocated proportionally to the group/item amounts in the Service Charge column of the upper table. After that, by using the Allocate button in the lower table, you can allocate the group's all amounts (CIF AED, Total Duty, and Service Charge) within the group proportionally to item amounts.
Then in the VAT Amount (AED) column, the VAT amounts for each item/group are calculated as the sum of the amounts from the following columns: CIF (AED) , Duty Amount, and Charge Amount.
