Customs duty is calculated using the standard duty rate specified in the tariff, unless the stock item record indicates that a valid preferential rate applies. Click on the arrow at the bottom right hand side of the editor to scroll along to the Notes column which states if there is any reason the duty/VAT cannot be calculated.

If Anti-Dumping Duty (ADD) or Countervailing Duty (CVD) applies to the goods, the percentage must be entered on the 'Stock Item' record for the goods otherwise it will not be calculated on the report. This information is not available in the electronic customs tariff. To get to the stock item, right click on it and click on Open Stock Item.
