Item Tariff Codes

The Detailed Scope of the Tariff Module calculates sales line tariffs by looking for the Tariff Codes assigned to each item. An item can be assigned to more than one Tariff Code.

The Tariff Module does not use the Item Shipping Weight from the Item Card because it may include packaging or other amounts not related to the duty calculation. For example, an Item may have different weights for Aluminum and Steel within the item. Enter the TARIFF WEIGHT to use as the basis for the tariff calculation. The tariff weight is only used if the tariff code is setup with a tariff amount.
