Navigate to the AR Main Menu → Setup & Maintenance Menu → Department Setup.
Enter your Department Code then at the command line enter M for Miscellaneous then enter C for Charges. Add charges as needed. These charges will be added to invoices that do not have specified charges defined at the customer, shipper, or shipper/importer relation level.

Make sure to press P to Post changes.

After selecting/adding the Importer, add charges that apply when that importer ships with a specific Shipper/Grower. Leaving the Department blank applies to all departments.

• Example: Bill To = ACETEST and Shipper = JOSE VALENTINO → Entry Fee $45.00 in Department 01.
• Department blank → charge applies to all departments.

From the Grower’s Modify Line screen, press H for C(H)arges to open the sub‑screen and define default charges whenever this shipper is used—regardless of importer.

• Example: For Shipper JOSE VALENTINO add Entry Fee $45.00 and Special Handling $4.00.

Use the added prompt on the charge‑code setup to define an Associated Charge Code. When the base code is used, the associated code is added automatically.

• Example: Using bill code 37 (Manifest Breakdown) auto‑adds bill code 11.
