For businesses shipping internationally, properly assigning tax and duty responsibilities is essential for smooth customs clearance and a positive customer experience. This guide explains how to use Logiwa’s Workflow feature to automatically set recipient tax information.

The "Set Recipient Tax ID and Type" is an action that you can add to your workflow rules. Workflows are triggered by specific events in your warehouse workflow (e.g., when an order is created). You can find the general steps to create a new workflow rule in our guide: Create a Shipment Order Workflow.

After you create a rule and define its conditions, you will add the "Set Recipient Tax ID and Type" action. Below is an explanation of each option you can configure within this action.

  • Tax Type ID: Enter the type of tax identification (e.g., VAT, TIN, EIN, DNS, FGN)

  • TaxId: Input the recipient’s tax identification number if required for customs clearance.

Click Set Action to save the configuration, then save your workflow.
