Shipping Methods

Some additional fields have been added to the "Shipment Methods" screen which need to be considered when setting up Clever Shipping Agent Integration. All of the additional fields will be used when processing International Consignments.

Duty Paid By

When selecting a Shipment Method on a Consignment, this field will be used to define who is responsible for paying the Duty amounts for the Consignment. The options to select from are as follows.

  • Sender - Duty to be paid by the sender
  • Recipient - Duty to be paid by the recipient
  • Third Party - Duty amounts will be paid by a third party. The account number for the third party should be defined in the Duty Account No. field against the relevant "Shipping Agent"

Note: The account number defined here should be the account number that customs will use to charge the duty against rather than an account number from Business Central.
