How to write a food export proforma invoice

Frequently asked questions
What should a food export proforma invoice include?
Each item with its net weight, quantity and unit price, the HS code and origin, the packing, the Incoterms, and the total and validity. Net weight and packing feed both the price and the health/customs documents.
Why is a proforma important for food exports?
Perishable and regulated goods need fast, accurate clearance — the buyer uses the proforma to arrange payment, import permits and inspection before the shipment lands. A short validity is wise for moving prices.

What is the difference between a proforma invoice and an invoice?
A proforma invoice is a preliminary, good-faith estimate sent before the sale is final — it is not a demand for payment and not a tax invoice. A commercial (final) invoice is issued once the goods or services are delivered, and that is the document the buyer pays and books against.
Turn your proforma into a paid invoice
A proforma confirms the deal before it is final. When the order is on, the Invoices Tracker turns it into a real invoice and keeps your clients, payments and what is still owed in one place.
