Sage 300 – Provision to set Import Declaration Number

The Sage 300 v2017 classic desktop and web i.e. Sage 300C both has provided various features and enhancements in terms of speed-up, more informative and user friendly. In this blog we are going to discuss about the new field introduced i.e. “Import Declaration Number” on P/O Invoice and A/P Invoice.

“Import Declaration Number” is basically the declaration document number of customs entry for imports. This document will be made and submitted by importer. An agent or Broker can submit the same on the importer’s behalf. This declaration documents includes details about goods intended for import. The Import Declaration Form shall be numbered respectively to ensure that each declaration form of the customs district can be uniquely identified by import within the same calendar year.

In most of the European countries, it is the common business practice to report the details of the import invoice when the payable tax is demanded for the tax paid on the invoice that was obtained from the Customs Agent. The VAT percentage that is included in the invoice from the Customs Agent varies and consequently cannot be calculated from the total amount on the invoice.

“IDN” or “Import Declaration Number” provides information about detailed customs clearance formalities of the landed goods have to be followed by the importers
