JET CUSTOMS TARIFF – WORD SEARCH

Three unique and powerful search engines make classifying any commodity a breeze.

The Word Search facility covers every word in the Harmonized Customs Tariff, i.e., in Customs language. It allows up to four entries of 20 characters each on which to search:

The words "dentists", "chairs" and "barbers", occur in the Customs Tariff. Each occurrence of these words is shown, however, it will also instantly show you, that only one main tariff heading in the entire tariff database, i.e., 9402.00, has all four words occurring in it. This search facility is particularly valuable when attempting to classify chemicals.

JET CUSTOMS TARIFF – GENERIC WORD SEARCH

Generic Word Search deals with "generic" terms, i.e., everyday words. The word "computers" does not exist in the Customs tariff.

However, in the Generic Word Search, the word "computers" automatically directs you to the starting point of "automatic data processing machines", making it quick and simple to classify even the most complicated of items.

JET CUSTOMS TARIFF - CHAPTER SEARCH

A Chapter Index Search allows searches using the Chapter Index as the starting point, allowing you to drill down to classify a commodity.

All JET Customs Tariff information appears on your screen in the blink of the eye, saving you time and increasing your efficiency in tracking down the correct Customs Tariff Headings.

JET CUSTOMS TARIFF - CALCULATIONS

JET Customs Tariff's unique calculation feature allows you, at any time within a search, to enter an FOB value in South African Rand, (or a published foreign currency) and JET Customs Tariff instantly displays all the applicable duties (including where applicable, Schedule 1 part 2 (a) or (b), Schedules 3 or 4), VAT, the statistical unit and anti-dumping duties correctly calculated in South African Rand.

Where applicable, you may choose, simply with a radio-button, to calculate the applicable duties based on the General, EU, EFTA, MERCOSUR, AfCFTA, EPA or SADC rates of duty. (Wherever JET Customs Tariff requires additional information to complete a calculation, it prompts you for it).

JET CUSTOMS TARIFF - CALCULATIONS WORKSHEET

JET Customs Tariff's unique calculation feature allows you, at any time within a search, to enter an FOB value in South African Rand, (or a published foreign currency) and JET Customs Tariff instantly displays all the applicable duties (including where applicable, Schedule 1 part 2 (a) or (b), Schedules 3 or 4), VAT, the statistical unit and anti-dumping duties correctly calculated in South African Rand.

JET CUSTOMS TARIFF - PRODUCT CODES

JET Customs Tariff's features a powerful Product Code library that cuts down on future research time. You classify the commodity once; save the applicable tariff heading against the commodity Product Code and in future, you'll have instant access to all the information, via your familiar Product Code. JET Customs Tariff's Tariff automatically validates each tariff heading held against a Product Code and warns you if a tariff heading is no longer valid, i.e., removed by SARS: Customs. In this case you will need to re-classify the product. The number of Product Codes that may be held is unlimited.

All that you have to do, in order to check to see if a Tariff Heading has been deleted, is to check your Product Library's "VALID" column. Any Product reflecting a "NO" in the "VALID" column, will need to be re-classified.

Customs Tariff amendments are dealt with whenever SARS: Customs publish them, usually on a Thursday afternoon and are automatically installed, from within JET Customs Tariff's Customs Exchange Rates are updated daily and are updated in the same manner as the Tariff amendments.

JET LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS

JET Logistics Solutions license enables you to produce all the usual permutations of the forms required for imports and exports, for presentation, including EDI to SARS: Customs.

JETLog HAS SEVERAL UNIQUE FEATURES:

  • The ability to re-print declarations, at any time, even days or months, or years, after capture;
  • A comprehensive library of product codes can be built, easing the burden of the capture clerk, who does NOT necessarily have to be an entry clerk. Entry clerks are far too valuable, to be sitting in front of a screen tapping in declaration information. This function can easily and less expensively, be handled by a trained capture clerk;
  • Adding consignees and suppliers on the fly, without having to close the file;
  • An on-screen display of all the total duties and VAT due by the importer, prior to the declaration being printed and/or submitted via EDI. A very good option for dealing with potentially dicey debtors;
  • Automatically deals with "repair and return" as well as "intellectual value" shipments;
  • Permits the entry of notations in respect of FOB (dutiable) charges, which are printed on the Customs worksheet. This makes the checking officers job easier and consequently resulting in fewer rejections;

JET MANIFEST

  • The ability to Create and Submit Electronic Sea, Air and Road Freight Manifests;
  • Easily Import all Declarations into the Manifest, that were captured in JET Logistics Solutions;
