International Settings
Shipping International orders will now allow to configure tax settings at the integration level.
In the integrations view for the available stores the “International Settings” button can be found to configure the tax information.
- Incoterm
If you are generating a shipping label for an international package, you will need to set up what is known as an incoterm value.
You can select a default incoterm per store. The available values are: EXW”, “FCA”, “CPT”, “CIP”, “DAT”, “DAP”, “DDP”, “FAS”, “FOB”, “CFR”, and “CIF”. Setting this value to anything other than “DDP” will pass the cost and responsibility of duties on to the recipient of the package(s), as specified by Incoterms rules.
- Tax identifier
In this panel you can also set-up the tax identifier information that are used to charge a specific party when dealing with the importing or exporting of good across international borders.
More information on the available tax ID types supported by the carrier can be found at: https://support.easypost.com/hc/en-us/articles/4412101923213
For setting up the Tax Identifier the following information is required:
- Entity : Which entity the tax id belongs to (“SENDER” or “RECEIVER”)
- Tax ID: The actual tax id number
- Tax ID Type: The type of tax id that is being used with the shipment (see possible types by carrier in the dropdown)
- Issuing Country: The issuing country of the tax id number
Don’t forget to save your configuration!
These will now apply when shipping as default values. If there is a specific tax id or incoterm needed per shipment than you have the option to select it at the WMS level in the side panel of the Shipping view. This will only apply per that specific order.
