Fields at variant level
When you enable warehouse location, HS code or country of origin at the variant level, you can set these values individually for each variant of a product. This is useful if, for example, you store the same product in different locations depending on size or color, or if different variants have different customs information.
If a variant has not been assigned its own HS code or country of origin, the values from the product itself are used by default. You therefore only need to fill in variant values where they actually differ from the product's common value.
Note that warehouse location at the variant level requires inventory management to be enabled for the respective variant.
Incoterm
When the HS code is enabled, an Incoterm selector is displayed on the order page. The Incoterm code specifies who is responsible for shipping and customs costs in an international trade.
Available Incoterm codes:
Code | Description |
|---|---|
EXW | Ex-Works |
FCA | Free Carrier |
CPT | Carriage Paid To |
DAT | Delivered at Terminal |
DAP | Delivered at Place |
DDP | Delivered Duty Paid |
If you do not use Incoterm, you can hide the selector by enabling "Hide Incoterm" in the module settings (Extensions).
Customs Invoice
To use Customs Invoice, you must enter the country of origin and HS code for the products. The easiest way to do this is to export the product list, fill in the information in the spreadsheet, and import it again.
Country of origin is the country where the product is manufactured.
HS code (Harmonized System code) is an international system for classifying trade products, created and maintained by the World Customs Organization (WCO).
Some important points about HS codes:
- The first 6 digits are common to 183 countries.
- The remaining digits are country-specific and define tax rates.
- European export declarations usually require 8 digits.
- European import declarations usually require 10 digits.
- American declarations require 10 digits.
- The HS number, along with value and currency, determines customs duties and tax rates.
The correct HS code is important for both importers and exporters. It identifies the product and is crucial for tax systems and customs controls.
