The TROPOS Customs and Excise functionality has been designed as an integral part of the Resources, Products and Processes, Warehousing and Inventory, Purchasing and Sales and Distribution modules. It is specifically designed to cater for the needs of businesses producing dutiable goods, ensuring that the rigorous Customs and Excise legislative and audit requirements are met with the minimum of effort.

Date effective Customs tables can be defined by commodity code, nation group or nation and optionally quota number, detailing the latest strength and volume rates. Date effective excise tables are defined by tax code.

The dutiable nature of all raw materials, intermediates and finished products can be defined with TROPOS automatically calculating the duty which is due to be paid based on the status of the supplied materials and the status of the intended customer. All movements of alcohol and hydrocarbon oils are tracked, taking account of temperature correction factors, to ensure that all activities can be accounted for.

Extensive analysis reports are available to show movements, customer duty analysis and duty free analysis. TROPOS automatically produces the Monthly Excise Return reports minimising the effort involved in complying with Customs and Excise regulations.

In conjunction with the Export Documentation Module, TROPOS produces the necessary export documentation for the sale and movement of dutiable goods.

TROPOS calculates the customs and excise duty payable and generates postings in the ledger systems to maintain full visibility of the duty liability.

TROPOS enables compliance with complex Customs and Excise legislation with the minimum effort.
