Commercial Invoice
The Commercial Invoice is important for the clearance process used by customs officials to classify merchandise so that duties & taxes can be correctly assessed.
The sample Commercial Invoice shown below is a generic form. Please note that Customs authorities reserve the right to require additional documents and information.
1. Shipper/Exporter:
Provide contact name, company name, and full address.
2. Country of Manufacture:
The country in which each of the commodities in your shipment was originally manufactured or produced.
3. Importer:
If the shipment will be handled by an importer who is not the recipient, add the full name and address here.
4. Add the FedEx International Air Waybill number, our main reference for your shipment.
5. Your description of each commodity must include:
- Full description
- Harmonized code (where possible)
- Reason for export/intended use
- Any part or serial numbers
- Country of manufacture
6. Before you sign the Declaration
Ensure that all the information is consistent with the Air Waybill or your shipment could be delayed in customs. Certain commodities may need extra documentation or export licenses. FedEx requires one original commercial invoice with three copies, all individually signed. We also recommend that you put a copy inside one package.
