Choosing a commercial invoice template

A commercial invoice is read by customs officers and freight forwarders, not just the buyer, so clarity matters more than flair. Corporate and Professional lead with structured grids that customs brokers can scan quickly. Minimal strips out anything decorative, which speeds up manual data entry at the border. Classic and Elegant suit traditional industries such as textiles or handicrafts, where a formal tone matches the goods. Midnight and Forest give the document a recognisable header band without obscuring the Harmonised System codes, country of origin and incoterms that customs will look for.

One shipment, any template

Templates are presentation only. Your shipper and consignee details, HS codes, quantities, country of origin, incoterms and total declared value all stay in place when you switch. Fill in the shipment once, then pick the template that matches your destination country's expectations — or your freight forwarder's preference.

What's a Commercial Invoice Template?

A commercial invoice template is a starting point for invoices used in international shipping. It covers the seller, buyer, goods, values, and other shipment info customs and logistics companies need.

Since customs rules vary by destination, check the template against the current rules for that shipment and those goods.

  • Invoice reference: Number and date.
  • Goods description: Clear descriptions, quantities, and values.

  • Declared value: Currency, item values, totals, and other required figures.
