Document- and Line-Level Elements

Elements can be defined at the Document or Line level or both.

Suggest Edits

Elements and Extensions can be defined on the Document or Line level, depending on requirements and use cases. Some can be defined at both levels, like Allowances. However, some, like item classification must be specified at the line level. Some countries might require that you place specific information at a specific level. These are mentioned in the Country Guide Overview section.
