What is a Commercial Invoice?

A commercial invoice is a legal document between a supplier and a customer that describes the sold goods and the amount due. In international trade, it's required for customs clearance and serves as the primary document for calculating duties and taxes.

Unlike a proforma invoice (which is preliminary), a commercial invoice is the final bill that demands payment and is used by customs authorities to assess import duties, VAT, and other taxes.
