Commercial Invoice

Sender details

 

  • The invoice number is assigned by the shipper, if applicable.
  • Not necessarily the date that the shipment is handed to ITL. This should be the date the transaction took place in the seller’s records. (The date on the shipping label should show the date the shipment is handed to ITL.)
  • The shipment ID is the 11-digit version of the tracking number when using ITL ® technology to complete the invoice (i.e., 1YE595012345678901 becomes Shipment ID E5950123456).
  • Currency indicates what currency the values are listed in (e.g., USD, GBP, EUR, etc.).
  • The shipper will include the reason for export. For example, whether the shipment is a sale, a gift, an item for repair, etc.
  • Terms of sale (Incoterms) refers to the billing terms on the invoice. The terms state who (seller or buyer) is responsible for paying various costs — ship ping, insurance, import tax and duty charges. See the Incoterms section at the end of this guide for more information.

The details of the description should include:
• What it is
• What materials it’s made of
• What the item is used for

For example, an accurate description would be: ½ inch diameter carbide steel drill bit for machining metal, part 123-456. The detailed descriptions you provide are used by the destination brokerage department to assess and apply the import country’s duty and tax on the goods being sent
