1. (amount paid through bank + customs duty paid) should be capitalized. 

2. amount paid as per customs bill should be capitalized + diff should be debited in P/L account as "foreign exchange diff against imports"

follow any one method.

Thank you sir,

I find 2nd one more appropriate.

 

but sir, in accounting it will show that creditors have been  paid in excess or less as i'm not paying as per their bill.

please explain.

in 2nd method, excess payment will be debited under the head "forex diff against imports" for neutralization of accounts.

 

forex diff a/c dr 

to party a/c

Thank you Sir.
