Design#
The Customs Modules introduces or extends the following concepts:
Tariff Code#
The Tariff Code stores the Harmonized System code for a Country or Organization active for a period of the year.
Duty Rate#
The Duty Rate stores the import or export rate applied for a Tariff Code over a period and a Country or Organization. The rate can be expressed as a fixed amount or an amount per Unit of Measure in a Currency.
Product#
The Product concept is extended with a set of methods that allow retrieving the product’s Tariff codes based on criteria.
The tariff codes can be set directly on the product or on a special type of Product Category. Unlike standard product categories, each product can only have a single customs category.

The Product concept is introduced by the Product Module.
Product Category#
The Customs Module allows some Product Categories to be marked as customs categories. These product categories can have customs properties such as Tariff Codes associated with them.
When placing categories into a structure all the categories in the structure must be either standard categories or customs categories. This means a customs category cannot have a standard category as its parent or as any of its subcategories.
