Rule
If a Rule is inserted in this box the system will ignore any Market Value defined in the Market Value
record and expects the Statistical or Customs value to be defined in the rule. (Rules are described
on page 12.)
The "CustValue" variable
Within the System the result of a market value calculation is written to the variable 'CustValue'. If
no Market Value is defined for the Commodity then CustValue has the same value as StatVal.
If the Replace Statistical Value box is YES then the declaration Statistical value will be reset to
the calculated Market value. Tax calculations are usually defined in MODCHQCF (see Section 08
for details) and are normally written to charge Duties and Taxes on the Statistical Value or
StatVal, but where Replace Statistical Value is set to YES this will cause the Duties and
Taxes to be charged on the calculated Market Value.
Using a Market Value
To use a 'Market Value' in a tax calculation requires the following steps:
1. Market Value is defined for the Commodity specifying unit values;
2. The Replace Statistical Value is set to YES and
3. The name of the 'Market Value' to be inserted in the Market Value box within
the Commodity Code update window.
This example shows a Market Value called MV0201 inserted Commodity Code 020120.
