Your integration should allow users to specify delivery terms for transactions.

Delivery Terms (or Incoterms) refer to agreed-upon conditions between a buyer and a seller for the delivery or goods. Delivery terms are 3-letter trade terms that describe the practical arrangements for the delivery of goods from sellers to buyers. Delivery terms set out the obligations, costs, and risks between the 2 parties.

The DeliveryTerms parameter determines who acts as the importer of record and who arranges the transport of the goods if the user doesn't include this information in the request. Further, DeliveryTerms is also used with isSellerImporterOfRecord to influence whether AvaTax includes import duty and tax in the transaction totals.

If the user passes the Transport or isSellerImporterOfRecord fields in the request, and those fields conflict with DeliveryTerms, then those values take priority over the DeliveryTerms field.

If the user doesn’t pass the Transport or isSellerImporterOfRecord fields in the request, but does pass DeliveryTerms, AvaTax uses that field to determine who acts as the importer of record and who arranges the transport of the goods based.

If the user doesn't pass any of these fields, AvaTax will default Transport to Seller for goods and isSellerImporterOfRecord to False. In this case, the AvaTax user doesn't act as the importer of record.

You can specify DeliveryTerms in the TransactionParameterModel or the TransactionLineParameterModel
