Toll and Duty Management in CargoWise is a crucial system that calculates, records, and manages all relevant tolls, customs duties, taxes, and fees for shipments. Efficient cost management is critical for correct freight invoicing, compliance with international trade regulations, and reducing customs clearance delays. CargoWise automates this process by combining tariff schedules, customs laws, and toll rate databases, ensuring that shipments are accurately invoiced and disclosed throughout the supply chain.

Using real-time data and regulatory changes, the system calculates import/export duties, value-added taxes (VAT), and road tolls based on shipment characteristics such as origin, destination, product categorization, and transit mode. This automation avoids mistakes in human computations and helps to prevent unexpected expenditures or fines. CargoWise also keeps thorough records and audit trails for tolls and duties paid, which simplifies financial reconciliation and regulatory compliance. This simplified strategy improves operational transparency, cost control, and regulatory compliance for logistics companies.
