Overview

A commercial invoice that misses the origin, a weight or an invoice number can hold a shipment at the border and delay payment. This template puts the exporter, consignee, goods, origin, weights, values and declaration on three pages, so customs and the customer's accounts team find everything quickly.

The sample is from Fallowfield Group, a fictional exporter, invoicing £10,500 of wool throws, cushion covers and rugs to a buyer in Oslo. Goods of £9,960 plus £540 freight add up, weights reconcile and payment terms are stated. Replace the parties, goods, codes and values with yours.

Useful for

  • Invoicing a pallet of goods to an overseas buyer with the origin and weights customs expect
  • Giving a freight forwarder one document that matches the packing list and the declaration
  • Showing a new customer the invoice number, terms, due date and payment reference up front

What's included

  • A front page with exporter, consignee, terms, origin and the invoice total
  • Goods lines with quantity, unit price, HS code and weight, summarised in three steps
  • A values and payment section with the zero-rate VAT note, due date and payment reference
  • A signed declaration of origin and truth, with contact details for questions
  • A guide page for replacing the sample content

Questions

Is this commercial invoice for export free?

Yes. Make a copy in Google Docs and edit it as you like. There is no sign-up on this site and no cost.

Are the company and the goods real?

No. Fallowfield Group, Nordvik Interiors, the people, email addresses and every price and weight are fictional and only show how a finished invoice reads.

Does it replace advice from my forwarder?

No. Customs rules, HS codes and VAT treatment differ by country and product. Check the details with your freight forwarder or customs agent before you ship.
