It must clearly state the value, description, HS code, and origin of the goods, along with the payment terms and Incoterms® 2020 rule.

Overview & methodology

Invoice Compliance (UCP 600)

Per UCP 600 Article 18, a commercial invoice must appear to be issued by the beneficiary and be made out in the name of the applicant (unless Article 38 applies). It must be in the same currency as the credit. Most importantly, the description of goods in the invoice must correspond precisely with the description in the Letter of Credit.

Numerical Example: CFR Shipment Invoice Example

In a CFR (Cost and Freight) invoice, the freight component must be clearly broken out or included in the unit price to reflect the total value.

Product Value$95,000.00
Freight Charge$4,500.00

Payment TermsLC at Sight
Total Invoice Amount$99,500.00

Customs Valuation

Customs authorities use the transaction value on the commercial invoice as the basis for calculating Ad Valorem duties. Including the correct HS Code (Harmonized System) is vital to ensure the correct duty rate is applied and to avoid administrative holds or fines for misclassification.
