ADDITIONAL FUNDS


Additional funds are required when customs valuation exceeds the current value of the goods/permits by more than 10% of the C.I.F. (Cost Insurance and Freight) US$ value. All relevant fees are payable.

HOW TO CALCULATE

Additional funds are calculated using either of the following documentation:
  1. Bill of Sight
  2. Custom Entry (C78)
  • If the additional funds required exceed the current value of the goods by more than 10%, the application is required to submit a new application 'In-Lieu-Of' the existing one.
  • To calculate the additional funds, the License Officer is required to use the customs valuation (C.I.F JA$) shown on the Customs Entry/Bill of Sight.
  • This valuation must be accepted and sign by a Customs Officer.
  • The customs valuation must then be divided by the exchange rate that the invoice is written in.
  • Finally, the value of the goods on the original permit is then subtracted from this new valuation to arrive at the additional funds required.
