MVE by industry
The chemical industry imports raw materials, intermediates and formulations with valuations that depend on purity, concentration and conditions of sale. The MVE must correctly reflect the costs of specialized containers, certificates of analysis and quality tests required by the buyer. Camtom automates these calculations for chemical importers.
Declaring specialized containers (ISO tanks, certified drums) as additions
Valuing chemicals with prices indexed to international benchmarks (ICIS, Platts)
Including certificates of analysis and quality testing costs as part of value when they are a condition of sale
Handling imports of hazardous substances with additional regulated transportation costs
Documenting volume discounts in annual raw material supply contracts
Camtom identifies which specialized containers are additions and which are part of standard packaging
Records reference prices and validates that the invoiced price is consistent with the benchmark
Classifies certification costs as additions or not based on contractual conditions
Includes hazardous material transportation surcharges in the customs value calculation
Manages volume discounts with supporting documentation for customs audits
Most common valuation method
Transaction value (Art. 64 LA) — Method 1
