On this tab, you specify some company information that is used in Intrastat declarations. For more information, see Intrastat Configuration: General Tab.

Import or specify commodity codes laid down in the Combined Nomenclature to classify traded goods. You must assign a commodity code to each item that should be declared. You can enter up to 10 characters for a commodity code in SAP Business One, but only commodity codes of 8 or 10 characters are declared. For example, 01 represents live animals; 0101 represents live horses, asses, mules and hinnies; and 01012100 represents pure-bred breeding animals.

The last two characters of a ten-character-long commodity code are a two-digit TARIC code. TARIC codes represent various rules applied to specific products when imported into the EU, for example, tariff suspensions, tariff quotas, and tariff preferences.

You can also specify the following information for the appropriate commodity code:

In the Italy localization, you assign commodity codes to items whose Intrastat type is defined as Item.

Relevant to Italy only. You assign service codes to items whose Intrastat type is defined as Service.

Import or specify service codes that are to be assigned to services. Service codes are used to classify services for statistical reporting needs.

Define the validity period of each service code by specifying the Valid From and Valid To dates. As service codes may change over time, limiting their validity periods restricts the service codes, therefore related transactions, from being reported in invalid periods of time.

Import or specify the administrative regions – states, counties, provinces – in your country and partner countries. The regions can be used as the import destinations and export origins of items.

You need to indicate whether these regions are valid for import and export. Default regions must also be valid, and the default regions for import and export can be the same ones.

Incoterms is a codification of delivery terms used in foreign trade contracts that is maintained by the International Chamber of Commerce, such as FOB (Free On Board) and CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight).

Specify a percentage statistical value for each Incoterm. The percentage is used to calculate the statistical value of a transaction. Calculation of the statistical values depends on your setting of the Simplified Procedure checkbox on the General tab of the Intrastat Configuration window.

Import or specify customs procedures established by the Community Customs Code to identify goods subject to customs control. For example, release for free circulation, transit, customs warehousing, inward processing, processing under customs control, temporary importation, outward processing, and exportation.

You need to indicate whether these customs procedures are valid for import and export. Default customs procedures must also be valid, and the default customs procedures for import and export can be the same ones.

Import or specify types of transactions, for example, straightforward sale or purchase, free-of-charge goods, goods sent for processing, goods returned following processing, and so on.

You need to indicate whether these nature of transaction codes are valid for import and export. Default nature of transaction codes must also be valid, and the default codes for import and export can be the same ones.

Import or specify codes for the statistical procedures that are defined with respect to customs procedures (Commission Regulations (EEC): 54/77 and 3678/87), for example, after outward processing, after economic outward processing for textiles, and so on.

Import or specify different transport modes by which the goods leave or enter the statistical territory of dispatch or arrival. Indicate the default transport modes for export and import – they can be the same modes.

Import or specify ports of shipment or destination. You need to indicate whether these ports are valid for import and export. Default ports must also be valid, and the default ports can be the same ones.

Import or specify supplementary units that are required for certain commodity codes. The supplementary units are used to measure goods in other ways than net mass.

This tab lets you specify which data to validate during a declaration run for the selected country. Different countries have different requirements for Intrastat declaration; the same country may also have different requirements for import and export data.

The Required For columns indicate which fields are mandatory for declaration in the selected country. These columns are by default hidden.
