Export Invoice vs Commercial Invoice

Export invoices are often used as part of international shipping documentation.

Common use
  • Document the sale and value of goods
  • Support shipping paperwork
  • Support customs clearance processes
Keeping consignee and destination details clear helps the invoice work in cross-border workflows.

Incoterms and Shipping Responsibilities

Incoterms can affect what’s included on the invoice and how charges are interpreted.

Why it matters
  • Defines who pays shipping and insurance
  • Clarifies where risk transfers
  • Helps prevent disputes about freight and delivery responsibilities
If used, include the Incoterms reference as a custom field to keep documentation consistent.

Packing, Insurance, and Documentation Fees

Export shipments may include additional services beyond the goods.

Common add-ons
  • Packing/handling
  • Freight or shipping service charges
  • Insurance
  • Documentation and admin fees
  • Inspections or certifications
Itemizing these services keeps the invoice transparent and easier to approve.
