How to write a repair & return commercial invoice
A repair or return commercial invoice declares goods being sent across a border for repair, replacement or return — not a sale. It states the value and clearly marks the reason, so customs can apply the right relief and the goods are not double-charged duty.

Frequently asked questions
How do I ship goods abroad for repair?
Issue a commercial invoice marked clearly as “for repair / return — not a sale”, with a declared value and a reference to the original shipment. That statement lets customs apply the correct relief so duty is not charged again.
Why mark it as not a sale?
Because there is no transaction — labelling it a sale would wrongly trigger full duty. The value is for customs assessment and insurance, not payment.

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.
