# How to respond with DTA values for an International BID

## Learn how to correctly fill in DTA values in the BID Template.

There are two ways to register DTA values in an International BID on the Cargo Sapiens platform:

1. Through the system interface
2. Through spreadsheet, with possible later completion in the interface (if additional charges such as ad valorem, apportionment, tolls, etc. are required)

#### **Registration via Interface**

On the BID homepage, click **“Create Contracts”** and then **“DTA Contracts”**.

Next, fill in the required fields as indicated below:

![](https://central-conhecimento.cargosapiens.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-04-2026-05-02-27-0870-PM.png?width=670&height=653&name=image-png-Mar-04-2026-05-02-27-0870-PM.png)

- **Currency:** billing currency for the DTA.
- **Type:** indicate whether the DTA will be consolidated (LTL) or dedicated (FCL).
- **Position:** select whether the transit occurs at origin or destination.
- **Transit Time:** number of days between the involved ports/airports.
- **Name:** free-text field that should contain only the DTA route segment.
  
    - Example: **“DTA - GRU x VIX”** or **“DTA Port of Santos x EADI Betim”**.
- **Rate:** amount charged for the DTA.
- **Rate Calc. Basis:** how the charge will be calculated (per shipment, per kg – gross weight –, etc.).
- **DTA Starting Port:** origin port/airport of the DTA.
- **DTA Ending Port:** destination port/airport of the DTA.
- **Rate Applicability:** select whether it applies to general cargo, dangerous cargo, or both.

 

#### Important

For the calculation to work correctly, the **DTA Origin Airport/Port must be the same as the Freight Destination Airport/Port** informed in the freight tab. In this way, the DTA will function as the **“leg” between the freight destination airport/port and the final destination**.

Example: if your DTA is at destination and the destination ports informed in the **Freight tab** were **BRRIO (Rio de Janeiro)** and **BRSSZ (Santos)**, in the interface you must inform these two ports in the **“DTA Starting”** field. In **“DTA Ending”**, you should inform the final DTA ports, such as **BRVIX**, for example.

#### **Registration via Spreadsheet**

The same information available in the interface can be filled in the **Supplier BID Template spreadsheet**, using the corresponding columns and selecting options from the dropdown lists when applicable.

**Note:** If the DTA tariff varies according to **weight ranges**, the values must be entered **separately** for each range (applicable only for **air modal spreadsheets**). This way, the system will automatically apply the correct pricing according to the cargo weight.

The rule requiring correspondence with the information in the **freight tab** also applies to entries made through the spreadsheet, as shown below.

Example of filling in the **freight tab**:

Example of filling in the **DTA tab**:
