Tutorials
Short walkthroughs of how a clearing agent actually uses ClearAgent — filing a Goods Declaration, billing a client, recording vendor bills with Section 153 withholding, and reading the books that result.

File your first Goods Declaration
Start from a job, not a blank form. Two HS-coded line items, CIF value, customs duty at 5%, and how sales tax is computed on value plus duty — PKR 415,860 of duties and taxes on one consignment, calculated rather than estimated.

From client to job to invoice
Eight clients with their NTNs and outstanding balances, the expenses an agency actually incurs on a consignment, and an invoice built from the job so the bill and the file always agree.

Duty, port charges and demurrage
Ceramic tiles at 20% duty, measured in square metres because that is what the tariff uses. Port charges as recoverable expense heads, with demurrage and detention as standard heads you can save as a template.

Payments and the client statement
Record payments against a client, then send a statement that moves line by line — billed, received, outstanding — instead of arguing a balance from memory.

Quotations
Three quotations at three stages — draft, sent, accepted — each stored with its own line items so months later you can still say what was quoted and on what basis.

Vendor bills and Section 153 withholding
Twelve bills across port, shipping line, labour and transport. The s.153 deduction is computed, net payable adjusted, and the tax accumulated in Withholding Tax Payable — ready when it is due rather than reconstructed at filing time.

The accounting layer
Every invoice, payment and vendor bill posts its own journal entry. Fifty-six entries, each naming its source, and a trial balance where assets equal liabilities plus equity plus profit — on screen.

Fifteen reports, one pattern
The reports share a single columns, filter and sort engine. Learn the pattern once and it works everywhere — and what you see on screen is exactly what exports.

Sales tax, withholding and FBR
The monthly sales tax summary built from the jobs themselves, so returns and files never disagree, plus withholding certificates kept with their section and rate.

Setting up your organisation
Currency and sales tax rate, a chart of accounts created automatically at signup, reusable expense heads, and the day-to-day registers that come with them.

The client portal
Your client gets their own login, separate from your system: their consignments, their totals, their outstanding balance — and nobody else’s. Fewer status phone calls, because the answer is already there.
