Import Transactions

For import transactions for which the customs broker prepays VAT on behalf of the company, the customs broker issues a payable invoice with a 14-character invoice number. You must enter a voucher or create a journal entry for the VAT amount and the handling fee that is paid to the customs broker.

The customs broker sends to you an invoice that has a VAT payment document number. The format of the number is XXXX9999999999, where XXXX are alpha characters and 9999999999 are numeric characters. You enter the number in the Invoice field when you enter the voucher or journal entry for payment of the VAT and fees.

You should set up a supplier address book record for the customs broker or the Customs Authority. You specify the address book number of the customs broker or Customs Authority in the Supplier field for the voucher or journal entry.

See Setting Up Suppliers.

You use these codes for the voucher:

  • Document type is VPD.

  • Format code is 28.

  • Tax explanation code is VT.
