What it helps you decide
Allocate freight, duty, receiving, and brokerage across purchased items.

Allocate the whole purchase—not just the supplier invoice.
Spread freight, duty, brokerage, and receiving across multiple items by quantity, weight, or merchandise value.

Your numbers
Shipment and item lines
Use the filled example first. Then replace each field with a measured value or your best current estimate.
Step 1Answer one question at a time. Your example values stay available.
Important limit
Allocation is a management choice, not a physical fact.
Choose a basis that reasonably reflects what drives the shared cost. Preserve the supplier invoice, freight bill, customs documents, and allocation method with the result.
