Frequently asked questions
What is a commercial invoice?
A commercial invoice is a document used in international trade that declares the goods being shipped, their value, the parties involved and the terms of sale. Customs authorities use it to assess duties and taxes.
How is a commercial invoice different from a normal invoice?
A commercial invoice includes extra export details — country of origin, Incoterms, full shipping addresses and a reason for export — that a domestic sales invoice does not need.
Do I need a commercial invoice for every international shipment?
Generally yes for shipments of goods that cross a customs border. Document-only or low-value shipments may have simplified requirements depending on the destination.
What currency should I use?
Use the currency agreed in the sale and state it clearly. invoice44 supports 30+ currencies so you can match the contract.
