Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for imported goods. Customs duty, agent fees, and shipping charges directly related to bringing goods into stock should be debited to the Trading Account. However, bank charges incurred for foreign remittances are considered an expense and should be shown in the Profit & Loss Account.
