Free Commercial Invoice Generator
A commercial invoice is the customs document that accompanies international shipments. Unlike a standard sales invoice, it declares the contents, value, country of origin and terms of sale so customs authorities can assess duties. This generator adds those extra fields on top of a normal invoice layout.
Quick answer: A commercial invoice adds customs fields — exporter/importer, country of origin, HS codes and incoterms — to a standard invoice. Fill them in, then print or save as PDF; carriers usually want three signed copies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a commercial invoice and a regular invoice?
A commercial invoice is aimed at customs: it includes exporter/importer details, country of origin, HS codes and terms of sale (incoterms). A regular invoice is aimed at the buyer's accounting.
Do couriers require a commercial invoice?
For most international shipments yes — postal and express carriers typically require three copies of a signed commercial invoice attached to the shipment.
What are incoterms?
Incoterms (e.g. DDP, DAP, FOB) define who pays for shipping, insurance and duties. Enter the one agreed with your buyer in the Terms of sale field.
