How to write a dropshipping commercial invoice

Frequently asked questions
Do cross-border dropship orders need a commercial invoice?
Yes — any goods crossing a border need a commercial invoice for customs to clear them and assess duty. It declares the value and origin regardless of who ships.
What value should be declared?
The true transaction value of the goods. Under-declaring to reduce the customer’s duty is a customs offence and risks the parcel being held or fined.

What is the difference between a commercial invoice and a proforma invoice?
A commercial invoice is the final, definitive invoice issued when goods ship — the bill the buyer pays and the document customs uses to assess duty. A proforma invoice is a preliminary, good-faith estimate sent before the sale is final. The commercial invoice carries the real, declared values.
