Commodities - How to set up

Set-Up Steps

It will be necessary to set up multiple commodities when the same Harmonization Code is used with varying countries of origin. The Name Field must be distinct, it cannot be duplicated.

IMPORTANT! You should set up classifications before setting up commodities.

1. Access the Commodity List from the Lists menu at the top of the screen.

2. To add a Commodity to the List, Click the Plus Sign.

Guidelines for Filling out Commodity:

  • Name

    • Can be any name you create that will help you maintain your commodity list.

      • Pacejet recommends using a naming convention such as <harmonization code> + <country code>.

    • There is a character limit of 50 (including spaces)

    • For Linking to the ERP, this field must match the entry in your ERP

      • (For NetSuite, this is the CommodityName field on the item record)

  • Description

    • Text description of the commodity.

    • Typically these are standardized descriptions associated with the Harmonization Code.

  • Country of Manufacture

    • 2-character abbreviation of the country of origin.

  • Harmonization Code (HS, HTS, Schedule B)

    • Used to classify goods for export to another country.

    • In the US, a 10-digit HTS code is used.

  • Export License Number (optional)

    • A government-issued document that grants the licensee to export a specific quantity of a commodity to another country.

  • Expiration Date (optional)

    • The date on which the export license expires.

  • Classification (Optional for Parcel carriers, Required for LTL Carriers)

    • A drop-down list of classifications.

    • The classification to which the commodity is linked.

    • This is what will populate the Classification Field on the Rate and Ship page.
