Description:
Saw the discussion on duties for Shopify orders (thread #33785) and thought this might help others facing the same challenge.
We've built a customs intelligence add-on that connects to Acumatica and calculates the full landed cost for every purchase order involving
international trade.
THE PROBLEM
Acumatica doesn't have native fields for customs duties. Most teams either email their customs broker (and wait days), use spreadsheets (and get it
wrong), or create workarounds like tax IDs and non-stock items for duty amounts.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Click "Import from Acumatica" — select any open PO
2. Each line item is auto-classified into the correct HS commodity code
3. Full customs cost calculated: import duty + VAT/GST + anti-dumping surcharges
4. Required border documents listed (Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, etc.)
5. FTA savings flagged — if a preferential rate exists for your trade route
6. Sanctions screening on every trade route
7. Click "Push to Acumatica" — customs summary written to the PO's Notes field
No customisation project. No custom fields. Works on any Acumatica instance.
REAL EXAMPLE
PO 000557 — Cumin from Germany to UK:
• HS Code: 0904.12 (auto-classified from "Cumin Ground - India")
• Import duty: EUR 20.92 (4% MFN)
• VAT: EUR 0 (food is zero-rated in UK)
• Total landed: EUR 543.92
• Documents: Bill of Lading, CDS Declaration, Commercial Invoice, Certificate of Origin, EORI
• Sanctions: CLEAR
Time to calculate: 5 seconds.
COVERAGE
• 47 countries (US, UK, EU 27, India, China, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and more)
• 565,000+ commodity codes from official government tariff databases
