Customs Tariff charge
We have numerous import purchases for our clients’ vehicles, and I’ve been wondering if it’d be better to list the Customs Tariff charge separately on their invoice versus integrating it into the parts cost.
This would also help manage the RO better, as the tariff statement typically takes at least one week to arrive after receiving the parts.
Not sure though if this makes tracking costs & profits any better, or how it would be perceived by our clients.
Also, would tariffs fall under non-taxable shipping costs, or should it fall under the cost of the products?
Just thought I’d put it out there for discussion.Though when it comes to our stocking inventory, both shipping costs and tariffs are included in the final parts cost calculations (it’s such a large percentage of the total cost, I can’t see how it could not be managed any other way)

I have found that it’s better to integrate things like this into the cost. People are generally irritated by separate charges for anything. In most cases, shipping, hazmat, fuel, etc. are all best viewed as a cost/expense instead of a unique line on the invoice.
