To calculate Assessable Value and Estimated Landed Cost

This functionality is specific for India.

Custom duty must be calculated on Assessable Value or MRP (Maximum retail price). Before calculating assessable value you must calculate the Cost, Insurance and Freight.

Cost, Insurance and Freight = (Purchase order line amount + All Landed Cost lines where the check box Include in Customs Value Calculation is checked). All the amounts must be in home currency.

Assessable value

The Assessable value is calculated in the following ways:

  • If the MRP For Imports check box is selected in the Item Data for Indian Localization (tcibd9137m00l) session, the basic custom duty is calculated on MRP (Maximum retail price). The value of MRP is maintained in the MRP of Item (tcibd9139m00l) session. All the other custom duties are calculated, based on Assessable value.
  • Assessable value = Cost, Insurance and Freight+ Handling charges. LN defaults the percentage of Handling Charges from the India Localization Parameters (tccom9136m00l) session. According to Customs law, the value of Handling charges is 1 per cent of the CIF value of the goods.
  • If the transport of goods is by air, then you must check the percentage of freight value against the Purchase order amount. Freight value must be less than or equal to 20 per cent of the purchase order line amount. The same freight value must be used to calculate the assessable value.
Estimated Landed cost (ELC)

The Estimated landed cost must be calculated as follows:

Estimated Landed Cost = Purchase order line amount ( calculated using Purchase Exchange Rate) + All Landed Cost lines where the check box Include in Customs Value Calculation is checked + Non claimable duties.
