Amazon invoice template for Export

[Music] this time let's take a look at how to write an invoice and the packing list in trading what do invoice and packing list mean you may be aware that they are essential documents for exporting cargo and documents which need to be submitted to a freight forwarder or a customs broker for importing cargo let's check out their actual roles first let's take a look at the role of an invoice as you may have seen an invoice is a document which is provided with goods you purchase through an online shop in the trade to the oversee there is an invoice with specific format when trading an invoice is used to check the contents of exporting and importing and the amount of duty which needs to be paid by an importing country is calculated it might make more sense to call it a list of purchased goods or a delivery note due to customs law this document will be required for export and import declaration without exception secondly let's take a look at the role of a packing list when trading a packing list is used to check the volume of importing and exporting of cargo how the cargo is wrapped and what case mark is on the cargo therefore don't think it is just a list of purchased goods or a delivery note it is important that the correct information is present and clear you should never put a lower product price in an attempt to pay less duty or underestimate the volume to reduce shipping costs even if a freight forwarder and a customs broker do not notice it may be identified after customs post audit and you will be required to pay a higher rate of tax or it may also become apparent when loading a vessel or an airplane which could cause cancellation of export leading to increased cost and time to collect the cargo and to cancel the vessel to prevent this from happening remember to complete these important documents correctly you may wonder where you could find the template to complete there is no specific template for an invoice and a packing list if you need to create one you can use our company's templates the link to download the templates is attached in the comments section let's take a look at how to complete an invoice an invoice should contain information such as exporter and importer product description name of the product quantity total value and vessel and flight number of the transport it is generally written in english this invoice acts as an invoice in addition to customs documents for export and import therefore it is important to create an invoice with the contents of the trading which can be easily read and understood also when completing it is important to write clearly correctly and in detail now let me explain the basic entries write in exporters shippers company name address telephone number and fax number in the same format write an importers consignees company name address telephone number and fax number there is no rule for the numbering of an invoice so you can any format it will be useful to have a certain rule such as numerical order dates senders country or companies initials from my experience it is common to use dates you need to write the name of the arriving port or the airport and the country the number of the flight or the vessel and the departure date should also be written if you are using a broker and unsure about this information please check with them trade terms needs to be written you shouldn't have any issue if you use the trade term set by encoders for example you can write cif tokyo and fob shanghai there are no rules for case marks so you can choose your own it is normally followed by a company name destination box number and country of production or an exporting country now let's take a look at the most important part detail of the cargo write the importing and exporting product name of the cargo quantity individual value and total value a customs broker will decide the tariff code by looking at the product name so it is important to write the information clearly and in detail please add the trade term we often see tt on the customer's invoice finally the signature of person in charge will be required some countries do not accept the invoice without the signature next let's take a look at how to write a packing list the content of a packing list is not very different from an invoice the majority of companies use the same template the difference is in the detail of the cargo information should include the size and the weight of the cargo the weight before packing and after packing however you do not need to add the unit and the total value if the number of cases and the total quantity of goods in each case are included in the packing list it will ensure the process runs smoother in the case of cargo inspection in practice unlike invoice which is required without exception you do not require a packing list as long as other documents include the total quantity and the weight of the cargo therefore if there is less cargo to transport you can combine the invoice and the packing list together needless to say a packing list is an important document to manage the cargo and is useful when the cargo goes missing at the arriving destination i hope you are able to create a packing list clearly and correctly by now you know how to write an invoice and the packing list these documents are not difficult to write once you get used to them once you have decided on the template which you intend to use you just need to complete the template with the required information i may be repeating myself but it is very important to write an invoice and the packing list in detail correctly and clearly if you remember these three key points you can expect the smooth trade business in this channel i explain about the technical term and job description
