Miscellaneous charges per kilogram in an Intrastat declaration

Intrastat is the system that is used to collect information and generate statistics about the trade of goods among countries and regions in the European Union (EU). For more information, see Intrastat overview.

Among other reporting elements, an Intrastat declaration contains information about miscellaneous charges. Miscellaneous charges are usually calculated as a percentage of the invoice amount. However, in Italy, they are often calculated by multiplying the cost of each kilogram and the weight of goods in kilograms.

Prerequisites

• The primary address of the legal entity must be in Italy.
• In the Feature management workspace, turn on the Miscellaneous charges per kilogram in Intrastat declaration feature. For more information, see Feature management overview.

Set up miscellaneous charges per kilogram

On the Released products master data page, on the Foreign trade FastTab, in the Intrastat section, in the Charges per kilogram field, enter the amount of the charges per kilogram.

Note

Verify that the product weight is defined in kilograms.

Calculation of miscellaneous charges

When transactions are transferred to an Intrastat declaration, the Statistical charges amount value is calculated by using the following formula:

Statistical charges amount = Cost of each kilogram × Net weight (in kilograms)

If a Charges percentage value is also entered, both types of miscellaneous charges are used in the calculation:

Statistical charges amount = (Invoice amount × Charges percentage) + (Cost of each kilogram × Net weight [in kilograms])
