When to use it.

Commercial Invoice is an export invoice template for manufacturers and sellers shipping goods abroad. It carries what customs at both ends need: the exporter's VAT number, EORI and manufacturer ID, the consignee and importer of record, the customs broker, Incoterms® 2020 with the named place, and the route and air waybill. Each line gives a full description of the goods, the HS code, country of origin, quantity, unit price, and net and gross weight. Packages, shipping marks, weights and volume sit beside the totals, freight and insurance are shown apart from the goods for customs valuation, and a signed declaration closes it.
