Calculating the statistical value and VAT value

In an import declaration, Customs Management supports you in calculating statistical values and VAT values for contained items based on the net price. Additionally, you can enter surcharges for the statistical value or the VAT value which can be distributed based on net prices or net weights. Alternatively, you can also enter the statistical value and the VAT value manually.

Proceed as follows to configure the calculation of the statistical value and the VAT:

  1. Open an import declaration, then switch to the Financial overview sheet.
  2. In the Assessment basis calculation field group, enable the Calculate values box.
  3. Additional fields will be displayed in the field group.
  4. Make specifications about costs that impact the statistical value and/or the VAT value and the parameter according to which they are to be distributed.
  5. For the transport and the insurance costs, you can choose between a percentage and an absolute value.
  6. As a further adjustment, you can enter surcharges and deductions.
  7. You can decide whether to base distribution of the transport costs, surcharges, and deductions to the items on net price or net weight.
  8. Click Start distribution.
  9. Customs Management will distribute the entered costs to the individual items of the import declaration.
  10. The totals of the values from all items are displayed in the Totals field group.
  11. Making further adjustments for individual items: Open an item of the import declaration and switch to the Assessment basis calculation sheet.
  12. The costs determined during distribution are displayed in a read-only mode here.
  13. If needed, enter further adjustments of the statistical value or VAT value that only apply to this item in the Adjustments field group.
