The commercial invoice is the most important document for international shipments. OnFlyGo generates these automatically.
Required Information:
- Seller/shipper name and address
- Buyer/consignee name and address
- Date of invoice
- Description of goods (detailed, not generic)
- Quantity of each item
- Unit price and total value
- Currency used
- Country of origin/manufacture
- HS/Schedule B codes (if known)
- Terms of sale (Incoterms: FOB, CIF, etc.)
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
- Declaring value as $0 or "no commercial value" (red flag for customs)
- Vague descriptions like "samples" or "parts"
- Missing country of origin
- Inconsistent information between documents
- Not including all items
Value Declaration:
- ALWAYS declare true value
- Undervaluing is customs fraud
- Include value even for samples (fair market value)
- Replacement parts: declare repair/replacement value
