What is a Proforma Invoice?
A proforma invoice is a preliminary bill of sale sent to buyers in advance of a shipment or delivery of goods. It describes the purchased items and other important information, such as the shipping weight and transport charges.
Unlike a commercial invoice, a proforma invoice is not a demand for payment. It's used for customs purposes, to obtain import licenses, or to arrange financing.
When to Use
- Before finalizing a sale to confirm details with the buyer
- For obtaining import licenses or foreign exchange approvals
- To open a Letter of Credit (LC) with the bank
- For customs clearance in certain countries
- To provide a quote to potential buyers
Important Tips
- • Always include a validity period - proforma invoices are typically valid for 30-90 days
- • Include HS codes for all products to facilitate customs clearance
- • Clearly state that this is a proforma invoice and not a final invoice
- • Ensure Incoterms are clearly specified to avoid disputes
- • Once the sale is confirmed, issue a commercial invoice with the same details
