A commercial invoice is the document that decides whether your shipment clears or sits. Customs officers read it for classification, origin and value; banks read it against a letter of credit; your buyer reads it against the purchase order. This maker gives you a line table with HS code, origin, quantity, unit price and amount, plus the header fields customs expects — incoterm, currency, port of loading and discharge, marks and numbers, net and gross weight.
Traders, manufacturers and re-exporters in Jebel Ali, Sharjah, Dammam and across the GCC use it alongside a packing list and certificate of origin as one document set for each shipment.
- Line items with HS code, origin, quantity, unit price and total value
- Incoterm, currency, port of loading and port of discharge fields
- Exporter, consignee and notify-party blocks
- Marks, numbers and weight fields that match your packing list
- Signed declaration of true value and branded PDF export

State incoterms, currency and freight
Name the incoterm and place, the currency, and whether freight and insurance are included in the value.

Frequently asked questions
What is a commercial invoice?+
A commercial invoice is the document customs authorities use to assess duty and clear a shipment. It identifies the exporter and consignee, describes the goods with HS codes and origin, states quantities, unit prices and total value, and names the incoterm and currency of sale.
How is a commercial invoice different from a tax invoice?+
A tax invoice is a domestic accounting document built around VAT — TRN, VAT rate and VAT amount. A commercial invoice is built for customs: HS codes, origin, incoterms, weights and package marks. Exports from the UAE are typically zero-rated, so the commercial invoice carries the customs data rather than a VAT charge.
Do I need HS codes on a commercial invoice?+
Yes, in practice. Customs classifies goods by HS code to set duty, and a missing or wrong code is one of the most common reasons a shipment is held. Use the code your buyer's customs broker confirms for the destination country.
How many copies does a shipment need?+
Ask your freight forwarder and bank. Sea shipments and letters of credit often require three signed originals plus copies, and some destinations require the invoice to be attested by a chamber of commerce or consulate.
