Package Types

To set up your South African Duty to be calculated correctly, you will need to start with setting up Package Types.

When creating or editing a Package Type, the Final Packaged Litres field must be filled in. This is the litres of each individual unit. For example, for 12x330ml Cans, the Litres columns will be 3.96L but the Final Packaged Litres is 0.33L as it refers to 1 can.

Products

When creating a Product that is alcoholic, it is mandatory to assign a Package Type that includes Final Packaged Litres. If you do not, an error will occur when clicking finish. The Package Type associated with the Product can be changed at any time via the Settings tab.

You will also need to assign the Alcohol Type, ABV and *Dutiable litres of the Product.

As orders are completed, duty amounts will go towards a duty return based on the Dispatch Date of orders or when stock transfers are dispatched.
