SAT Tariff Item Codes

The SAT Tariff Item Code catalog is a comprehensive list of codes defined by the SAT to classify a product or service in foreign trade operations. The SAT requires that you include tariff item codes from this catalog in the Mexico electronic invoicing files issued in foreign trade operations.

There are two ways to add SAT tariff item codes to NetSuite:

Adding SAT Tariff Item Codes Manually

Note:

Only the Administrator, Accountant, CFO roles and roles derived from them have access to the Mexico SAT Tariff Item Code custom record. If you want to grant other roles access to the Mexico SAT Tariff Item Code custom record, you can create or customize a role and add custom record permissions to it. For instructions on customizing roles, see Customizing or Creating NetSuite Roles. For more information about setting permissions for custom records, see Setting Permissions for Custom Records.

The Manage SAT Tariff Item Codes page enables you to manually enter the SAT tariff item codes that you use in your business.

To enter a new SAT Tariff Item Code:

  1. Go to Setup > Mexico Foreign Trade> Manage SAT Tariff Item Codes.

  2. Click the New.

  3. In Name field, enter a name for the SAT Tariff Item Code. For example, enter Yellow corn. You should use the official SAT Tariff Item Code names that are defined in the corresponding SAT catalog.

  4. In the Code field, enter the code associated with this item. The value you enter in this field must be identical to the code defined by the SAT for this item. You can find the code in the SAT Tariff Item Code catalog.

  5. In the SAT Customs Unit Code field, select the unit of measure associated with the SAT Tariff Item Code you have defined. For example, select “01– Kilo”.

  6. In the Effective from and Valid until fields, enter the range in which this Tariff Item Code is valid. The validity dates are specified in the SAT Tariff Item Code catalog.

  7. If you use the Multi-Language feature, you can translate the item code names to the UI’s language:

    1. Click on the Translation subtab.

    2. Enter a translation for the item code name in the Name field for all required languages.

  8. Click Save.

Important:

If a tariff item code is not valid on the date of the transaction, NetSuite does not include it in the CFDI.

Note:

To inactivate or activate a SAT tariff item code in the List view, turn on the Inline Editing switch at the top of the Mexico SAT Tariff Item Code page. For more information, see Using Inline Editing.

The SAT Tariff Item Code field on the Item record is populated with the names and codes you define on the Manage SAT Tariff Item Codes page.

The following item types are supported by Mexico Foreign Trade:

  • Inventory Item

  • Item Group

  • Kit/Package

  • Non-inventory Item

  • Service

  • Assembly/Bill of Materials

Adding the SAT Tariff Item Code Catalog Using CSV Import

Alternatively, you can add the entire SAT Tariff Item Catalog to NetSuite by using CSV import.

Note:

However, if you want to configure only the values that are most relevant to your business, you should use the Manage SAT Tariff Item codes page instead.
