Tariff Number Registration and Equipment Matrix
A tariff number identifies a goods classification used in customs and trade processes. A forwarding shipment may contain several types of goods, so a single tariff number on a cargo line may not describe the complete contents. When the cargo is spread across containers, the team also needs to know which goods are assigned to each container.
Tariff number registration adds this breakdown to the forwarding document. Register multiple tariff numbers against a document line rather than keeping a single classification for all cargo. Each entry can hold a description, outer package type, package quantity, gross weight and net weight.
Use Assign Tariff No./Equipment to distribute these entries across the equipment associated with the document. This provides a more detailed breakdown when a shipment contains different goods classifications or spans multiple containers.
Configuration hints
- Maintain the required tariff numbers and package types before entering the breakdown.
- Open the tariff-number details from the document line's Tariff No. field. Add the classifications and their quantities and weights.
- Make sure the document has the relevant equipment before using Assign Tariff No./Equipment.
- Compare the breakdown with the line totals shown above the entries. Review highlighted differences before using the data for reporting or integration.
