Import Landed Cost and Customs in Your ERP in Qatar

Every container that clears a Qatari port carries duty, import VAT, freight, insurance, port and broker charges. If those land on the product cost as they happen, margins are real. If they land in an overhead account, the company sells at the wrong price for a year before anyone notices.

  • Consignment records with declaration, HS codes, duty and clearance status
  • Freight, insurance, duty and broker charges allocated to landed cost by value, weight or quantity
  • Import VAT treated correctly on the return
  • Shipment documents and product conformity certificates attached and tracked

Landed cost is the price you actually paid

An importer's ERP needs a consignment as a working object: the purchase orders inside it, the shipping documents, the customs declaration with its HS codes and duty, the clearance status and the charges from forwarder, port, broker and insurer. As each charge is invoiced, the system allocates it to the products on the consignment and updates their cost. Import VAT is recorded so the return claims it correctly. Product conformity and shipment certificates are attached where required and their expiry tracked.

We configure this on Odoo Purchase and Inventory, ERPNext and Zoho Inventory. Declarations are lodged through your broker on the customs platforms; the ERP holds the data and the cost. Distributors will also want distribution ERP and the import VAT guide.

Why businesses pick us

Partner on four platforms, not one

We are a Zoho, Odoo, ERPNext and ManageEngine partner and also implement Salesforce. If Zoho, Odoo and ERPNext is the wrong fit for the problem you described, we will say so before you buy licences rather than after.

Arabic and English in one system

Interface, documents and reports in both, which matters when the team works in Arabic and management reads reports in English.

Configured for Qatari practice

Invoicing workflows configurable around GTA e-invoicing, VAT treatment set at entry, and payroll outputs shaped for WPS and GRSIA.

We stay after go-live

The first month-end close surfaces everything the scoping missed. Most of the real value of an implementation is delivered in those weeks.

A team in Doha, not a ticket queue

Consultants you can meet, in your timezone and your working week, who scoped the project and then configured it.

We will tell you not to buy

If the problem is your data or your process rather than your software, a new licence will not fix it. We say that early.

Organisations we have worked with

A selection of the organisations we have delivered ERP and business software work for, across finance, healthcare, trading, logistics and professional services.

Questions before you book

By value, weight, volume or quantity per charge type.

Yes, recorded so the return claims it.

Yes, per product and consignment with expiry alerts.
