**Previous version**

`{     "payerType": "Sender",     "currency": "USD",     "incoterm": "DDP",     "cost": 90,     "invoice": {} -- not used ///`

**Current version**

`{payerType": "Sender",     "invoice": { "incoterm": "DDP", "currency": "USD", "payerFeesCustoms": "Sender", "cost": 101 /// } ///`
