| Duty & Tax Item | Tax Basis | Rate | Amount | Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dutiable Value (CIF) | EUR 120,000 × 7.842 | — | ¥ 941,040 | Tax base |
| Import Duty | Dutiable value ¥ 941,040 | 8% | ¥ 75,283 | Into cost |
| Import VAT | 941,040 + 75,283 | 13% | ¥ 132,122 | Deductible input |
| Customs & Port Fees | Reimbursed at cost | — | ¥ 6,800 | Into cost |
Computed straight from the import declaration: dutiable value (CIF × exchange rate) → import duty → import VAT, with rates pulled automatically from the HS Code library. Duty is posted into landed cost and VAT into a deductible input-tax ledger.
Six dimensions — purchase price, duty, VAT, ocean freight & insurance, customs & port fees, inland freight — are aggregated automatically onto each import order. A waterfall chart shows the true landed cost at a glance, and a pre-purchase landed-cost estimate keeps you from ordering into a loss.
| Inspection Item | Standard | Sampled | Defects | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scratches / color deviation | Visual + master sample | 200 | 3 | Pass |
| Critical dimension tolerance | ±0.05mm caliper check | 50 | 1 | Pass |
| Power-on functional test | 100% powered 30s | 200 | 6 | Borderline |
| Packaging / label compliance | CN label + warning marks | 200 | 0 | Pass |
Sampling plans are computed automatically against the AQL international standard; inspectors scan unit by unit and attach photo evidence. Lots that exceed the defect limit are rejected and auto-locked, and a claim is raised in one click with the inspection report and photos attached — pursuing suppliers, carriers or insurers for the loss.
| Payment Request | Supplier | Method | Amount | 3-Doc Set | Status |

T/T (deposit / balance), L/C and D/P are all supported. Every payment request is auto-linked to the import declaration, contract and invoice — the three-document set — with missing items flagged in red. Payments tied to an open claim are suspended automatically, and the verification ledger stays aligned with foreign-exchange regulator requirements.

| Equipment purchase price | Import contract CT-26031201 · EUR 880K | ¥ 6,901,000 |

Once the equipment arrives and passes acceptance, one click turns it into a fixed asset: purchase price + duty + VAT + freight & insurance + installation are all aggregated into the original value. Depreciation runs automatically every month by preset salvage rate and useful life, and the 5-year customs supervision period for duty-relief equipment is tracked end to end.

Automatically from the import customs declaration: dutiable value (CIF) × duty rate = import duty, and (dutiable value + duty) × VAT rate = import VAT. Rates come from the HS Code library; duty and VAT are automatically included in landed cost or fixed-asset value.
T/T (deposit / balance), L/C, D/P and D/A, covering overseas procurement payments, commissions and freight & insurance. Each payment request is auto-linked to the import customs declaration, contract and invoice, with a verification ledger aligned to SAFE (foreign-exchange regulator) requirements.
After arrival and acceptance, one click capitalizes the equipment: purchase price + import duty + import VAT + ocean freight & insurance + inland freight are all aggregated into the asset's original value. Depreciation runs automatically each month by preset salvage rate and useful life, and the 5-year customs supervision period for duty-relief equipment is tracked with alerts.
