Beverage basics

In this section, you give basic information about the beverages

1. Add the SKU for your beverage (what is an SKU?).
   • Note: If you don't have an SKU you can make up your own. Be aware that creating a new SKU can compromise/challenge the stock management tool you use.
2. Enter the name of your beverage. Keep in mind this is also the name that customers will see in on invoices and the webshop.
3. Indicate the percentage of alcohol in the beverage.
4. Indicate the volume of the beverage.
   • Note: Remember that the volume is indicated in Liters, so if your product is below 1 Liter add a 0 in front e.g. If the volume of your wine is 750ml you should add 0,75L.
5. Select the correct Excise category for your beverage (Wine, Beer, Sparkling Wine, Spirits, and Intermediate products).
   • Note: Intermediate products are not taxed as beer, wine, or other fermented beverages and have an alcohol percentage between 1.2% and 22%. Intermediate products are often products where multiple beverages have been combined together. Example products are port, sherry, vermouth, Madeira, and kir.
6. Add the CN Code for the beverage. (What is a CN Code?)
   • Note: You can find your CN Code here.
7. If you check the "This is an organic product" checkbox, the product will have the EU Ecological icon on your webshop. The invoice to the customer will also state which products are ecological in accordance with regulations provided by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries of Denmark

Packaging

1. Select the type of package in which the beverage is contained.
   • Glass bottle
   • Can
   • Others
2. Indicate the Gross weight of the beverage. Remember that the weight includes the packing.
