A commercial invoice is the official document that accompanies an international shipment. Customs uses it to identify the goods, calculate duties and taxes, and confirm the buyer and seller. Couriers such as DHL, FedEx and UPS require it for any non-document parcel crossing a border.
Seller (shipper) and buyer (consignee) details with tax or EORI numbers, invoice number and date, a precise description of each item with quantity, unit value and total, the currency, the country of origin, the HS (Harmonized System) code for each product, the Incoterms, the reason for export, package count and weights, shipping details, and a signed declaration. This generator has a field for each.
HS codes are six-digit product classifications (extended to 8 or 10 digits by each country). Look yours up in your country's customs tariff database, for example the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule or the EU TARIC database. The first six digits are the same worldwide.
The proforma is the quote sent before the sale; the commercial invoice is the final document that travels with the goods and that customs uses to assess duty. Many exporters issue a proforma first and a commercial invoice once the order is confirmed.
