DutyType Property

Auto duty type applicable for requests outside the US.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public ReadOnlyProperty DutyType As String

[C#]
public string DutyType {get;}

Remarks

The duty is automatically calculated in such requests if the Documents is set to False. This is returned in the server response only for requests outside the US.

The possible values to be returned:

All US domestic letters and documents are Non-Dutiable.

For non-documents the following logic applies:

• a. When export and import countries are the same, duty type is Non-Dutiable;
• b. All European transborder shipments (country pair must be found on DGTM TBL #462) are Non-Dutiable;
• c. If not found in step b, the duty type is assigned from the first value larger or equal to the converted customs declared value (order by declared value ascending) for that import country;
• If not found, default the duty type to Dutiable;

Note: When processing auto duty logic and for any reason the program experiences problems getting the duty type, the duty type will be defaulted to Dutiable. If the CurrencyCode is the same as the import currency code, there will be no currency conversion and the entered value will be used in the determination of the auto duty logic.

This property is read-only.

Default Value

"Dutiable"
