Intrastat reports, customs invoices and TARIC codes

Expanding your online shop to international markets requires handling customs and reporting requirements. Abicart's platform provides integrated features to help streamline these complex processes, making global sales easier for your business.

Key functionalities supporting international trade include:

Customs Documentation and Reporting

• HS Number (Harmonized System): You can activate and input the international standardized HS number for each product. This six- to ten-digit code is crucial for classifying goods traded worldwide, helping to determine correct tariffs and facilitating smooth customs clearance in importing and exporting countries.
• Customs Declarations: The integration with partners like nShift (formerly Unifaun) supports the export of shipments with customs declarations, such as CN22 and CN23 forms, which is essential for sending parcels outside the European Union (EU).
• Country of Origin: Maintain accurate records of where your products were manufactured by utilizing the specific attribute for country of origin.
• Intrastat Reports: While not explicitly mentioned in the general manual, a robust ERP integration is typically essential for generating complex reports like Intrastat, which track the movement of goods between EU member states. Abicart offers integrations with leading ERP systems like Fortnox, Visma, and Specter to manage such financial and reporting needs.
• TARIC Codes: Although not a direct feature, the necessity of TARIC codes (which define specific tariff and non-tariff measures for trade within the EU) is addressed through the ability to enter and manage product attributes like the HS number, ensuring you have the data structure to comply with specialized customs requirements when needed.

Efficiency in ERP Integration

By connecting your Abicart shop with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, you can centralize your business operations. This ensures that when an order is exported, all the necessary product, customer, and order details—including customs-related information like the HS number—are transferred to your ERP for correct accounting and legal reporting.

Abicart allows you to focus on selling, while providing the technical foundation needed to comply with international regulations and customs procedures seamlessly through efficient system integrations.
