When you create an import purchase order and add import landing charges, you can specify the currency that is used for the charges. You can calculate the charges in the company’s currency, the transaction currency, or the vendor’s currency. If you select a currency other than the company currency, when you confirm the import order, the applicable customs exchange rate is used to convert the charges to the company currency.

The exchange rate that you define for import transactions is used to calculate the assessable value and customs duty charges for import orders. For more information about how to set up customs exchange rates for import orders, see Currency exchange rates (form).

The default percentage that is used to calculate the customs landing charges for import orders is set up in the Accounts payable parameters form. For more information about how to set up landing charges, see (IND) Accounts payable parameters (modified form).
