The commercial invoice in feed ingredient trade

要点

The commercial invoice states what was sold, to whom, at what price and on what terms; customs uses it for valuation and classification, so errors create duty exposure as well as commercial confusion.

よくある質問

Is a proforma invoice acceptable to customs?

Generally not for final clearance. It is used for offers, payment applications and pre-clearance estimates; the final commercial invoice is required for the declaration.

Who is responsible for invoice accuracy?

The seller issues it, but the importer is responsible for the declaration built on it, so the buyer should review it before clearance.

主要ポイント

  • Description must match the tariff classification and the physical goods.
  • Incoterm, named place and currency must appear explicitly.
  • Values must reconcile with the packing list and transport document.

Required content

Seller and buyer details, invoice number and date, contract or order reference, full goods description, quantity, unit price, total value, currency, Incoterm with named place, country of origin and payment terms.

Customs consequences

The invoice drives valuation. Discounts, commissions, freight and insurance treated inconsistently with the declared Incoterm are common audit findings, and corrections after clearance are costly.

Consistency across the set

Quantity, description, marks and origin must be identical on invoice, packing list, transport document and certificates. Inconsistency is the single most common trigger for documentary examination.

確認事項

  • Description matching the tariff classification used on the declaration
  • Incoterm with named place and currency stated
  • Quantities and values reconciling with the packing list

管理すべきリスク

  • Undeclared additions to value discovered on audit
  • Description too generic for the customs classification claimed
  • Origin stated inconsistently with the certificate of origin

よくある誤り

  • Using a proforma invoice for clearance
  • Omitting the Incoterm or the named place
  • Rounding quantities so they no longer match the packing list
