Features
Benefits
HS code management & intelligent rate lookup
Assign HS codes once. The rate engine finds the correct duty rate automatically at every import — by exact country, trade region, or global default.
HARMONISED SYSTEM CODES
Product-level HS codes, inherited automatically from category
Assign HS codes to a product or inherit from category. Confirmation blocks any line without a code — no silent zero-duty surprises.
- —Direct assignment or category fallback, per product
- —Company-scoped or globally shared HS code library
| HS Code | Description | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| 8471.30.0000 | Portable computers | Global |
| 8517.12.0000 | Mobile phones | Global |
| 6204.62.3010 | Women's trousers, cotton | Company |
RATE LOOKUP ENGINE
Country → Region → Global: the most specific rate wins, always
The engine resolves the right rate automatically: exact country first, then trade region (EU, ASEAN, GCC), then global default. Date ranges prevent stale rates after regulatory changes.
| Scope | Duty% | VAT% | CESS% | Valid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| China | 25.0% | 18.0% | 2.0% | 2024–open |
| ASEAN | 5.0% | 18.0% | 2.0% | 2023–open |
| Global | 12.0% | 18.0% | 2.0% | 2021–open |
CIF calculation engine
Distribute freight and insurance from linked vendor bills across all product lines in one click, using any of five allocation methods. CIF values feed directly into duty calculation.
5 SPLIT METHODS
Freight and insurance distributed automatically from linked bills
One click pulls freight and insurance totals from linked vendor bills and redistributes across all lines using your chosen method.
- —By current cost — proportional to each product's value
- —By quantity — equal per unit imported
- —By weight or volume — proportional to product weight or volume × quantity
- —Equal — flat share per product line
Approval workflow
Four states with clearly defined responsibilities and ORM-level record locking. Only Finance Managers can approve or reset records. Done records cannot be reset.
One-click bill generation & journal entries
Generate separate vendor bills for customs duties, freight, and insurance directly from the landed cost record. At validation, a balanced customs journal entry is posted automatically.
PRE-FILLED VENDOR BILLS
Three bills, each pre-filled with the correct line items and accounts
Customs, shipping, and insurance bills are generated separately with amounts drawn directly from the duty calculation, in the landed cost currency.
- —Separate bills for customs duties, freight, and insurance
- —Multi-currency support with base amount stored for reference
- —Balanced journal entry posted automatically on validation
Full audit trails
Every manual override — CIF or duty — is logged in an append-only record. Write and delete permissions are blocked at the ACL level. Auditors can trace every number back to a user, a timestamp, and a reason.
APPEND-ONLY OVERRIDE LOGS
Tamper-resistant logs for every CIF and duty override
Every override requires a reason and is written to a log that cannot be edited or deleted — even by administrators.
- —Separate logs for CIF overrides and duty overrides
- —Mandatory reason field enforced before any override
- —ACL-enforced: write=0, unlink=0 — truly append-only
How it works: end-to-end import flow
From shipment receipt to validated duty costs — the complete workflow inside Odoo.

FAQs
A full customs workflow on the standard stock.landed.cost record: HS codes, 3-tier rate lookup, CIF split methods, per-levy breakdowns, one-click bills, journal entries, approval workflow, and audit trails.
Yes — country-specific, regional (EU, ASEAN, GCC, custom), and global default rates are resolved automatically per shipment's country of origin, with date ranges for historical accuracy.
Standard Odoo modules only: stock_landed_costs, stock_account, account, purchase, product. No third-party services.
Yes — Customs Managers can override via the Duty Override Wizard with a mandatory reason; the original value and override are preserved in the append-only audit log.
Yes — each company has its own HS codes, rates, levy toggles, GL accounts, and customs journal; company rates always override global defaults.
The override log models enforce perm_write=0 and perm_unlink=0 at the ACL level — even administrators cannot modify or delete entries.
