You use this program to maintain the exchange rates applied by customs officials. Customs exchange rates are normally used in determining tariff duty.
To apply a customs exchange rate you use the reserved word LCTFOR as one of the fields in a cost calculation (Browse on Calculation Codes). The value of the merchandise for a foreign currency supplier is converted to local currency using the Customs exchange rate.

| Delete | Select this to delete the customs exchange rate currently displayed. |
| Save | Select this to save the details you entered or changed. |

| Custom Exchange Details | |||||||
| Currency | This indicates the currency code you are currently adding or maintaining. | ||||||
| Currency description | This indicates the description of the currency code selected. | ||||||
| Exchange rate date |
Enter the departure date of the shipment. This date is used to calculate the actual duty. If this field is left blank, a date of 00/00/00 is used to calculate the expected duty. That is, the expected duty assumes an exchange rate date of 00/00/00, whereas the calculation of actual duty for a live purchase order uses an exchange rate date based on the departure date of the vessel. If this exchange rate has not yet been entered, then the system requests the actual exchange rate and inserts it into the customs exchange rate file. |
