Commercial Invoice

What is a Commercial Invoice, and why is it important?

A commercial invoice is a special export document that helps your package get through customs. A properly completed and accurate commercial invoice helps customs authorities quickly decide which taxes and import duties to apply to your package, which also prevents delays.

The only case in which a Commercial Invoice is not required when shipping internationally, is when the shipment contains Documents Only, that have no monetary value. For more information on Document Only International Shipments, click here.
