Import taxes and duties depend on the destination's rules and the transaction's classification, value and origin. The relevant bases and treatment can differ, so the cost should not be estimated by applying one general percentage to the supplier's invoice.
Identify the taxes, duties and fees applicable to the goods and importer. Review the valuation basis and any supported preferential treatment. Check whether charges are recoverable or form part of the business's cost under the applicable rules.
Separate the cash needed at import from the final accounting cost. Include clearance, handling and financing charges in the planning view where relevant. Record the official source, date and assumptions behind the estimate.
Have uncertain treatment reviewed before the order is priced or declared. Keep documents supporting the assessment and reconcile actual charges with the estimate. Avoid assuming that a delivery term or free-zone route removes the destination's legal obligations.
