You can ignore this section if you are only going to use a general goods description, as displayed on the invoice, but if you wish to produce your own Customs documents (SAD's) or submit an NES declaration from the system, then you should now move to the "Shipping-Continuation" tab of the Consignment Maintenance area of the system, where you should find the shipping descriptions displayed. This works in exactly the same way as for the Invoice line items, in that alongside each item, you will find the
options, which are displayed when you click on the "Amend" button.

If you have weights stored against the line items, and have shipping descriptions,
procedure codes and licensing information stored in the tariff file then you should only need to complete the number
and type of packages, and even this may not be necessary if you have typed in the number
and type of packages, including the NES
code, against each of the products. It is possible for the system will total up the correct number, and print them on the shipping documents, providing this option has been implemented. If it has not and you would like it to be, please call us on the
Support
line.
With regard to weights of products, many customers have no access to such data, and are merely adding the total weight of the cases in the first tariff record of a consignment and if there is only one commodity code used in the job, and a Packing List or Case Contents List is not required for the job then that is all that is required. However if there are multiple tariff records then you should be declaring
as accurate as possible net weights against each commodity code to HM Revenue & Customs. In such circumstances you may wish to make use of the routine within the system to apportion weights and cubes by tariff value, by clicking on the
Spread Case Totals icon, but before discussing that option please examine the option to enter Case Details.
