FAQ
What is a commercial invoice used for?
It’s the document that proves a sale took place between you and your international buyer. Customs officials use it to verify what’s being shipped, work out its value, and calculate the duties and taxes owed before releasing the goods.
Does a commercial invoice prove I own the goods?
No. It’s a billing and customs document, not a title document — it shows what was sold and for how much, not who legally owns the shipment. That’s handled by your bill of lading.
What’s the difference between a commercial invoice and a proforma invoice?
A proforma invoice comes first it’s essentially a quote your buyer can use to arrange financing or apply for an import license before anything ships. The commercial invoice comes after, once the sale is final and the goods are actually moving.
What happens if my commercial invoice has a mistake on it?
Even small errors a wrong value, a missing HS Code, an incomplete address can hold your shipment at customs, rack up storage fees while it waits, or in serious cases lead to the goods being seized. Double-check the details before you download.
