Additional options
Limit to same sub order: checked by default, e.g. if the calculation takes place for Import Customs (as defined in the Activity Type) and two import declarations are available on the shipment, the calculation will be done for each declaration separately
Free units: it is possible to specify that e.g. the first two items on a declaration are for free
Activity Types are to be used to ensure that you do not miss the tariff calculation for any relevant charge type.
