FAQ
What is a proforma invoice?
A proforma invoice is a preliminary bill of sale sent to buyers before a shipment or delivery of goods. It describes the items, quantities, and prices but is not a demand for payment — it is used for customs, import/export, and buyer approval purposes.
What is the difference between a proforma invoice and a commercial invoice?
A proforma invoice is issued before the transaction is finalized and is used for quotation or customs purposes. A commercial invoice is issued after the transaction and is the actual request for payment. Proforma invoices are not legally binding payment demands.
What should a proforma invoice include?
A proforma invoice should include: seller and buyer details, a unique proforma invoice number, validity period, incoterms (shipping terms), country of origin, itemized list of goods with quantities and prices, and total value.
What are incoterms and why are they important?
Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) are standardized trade terms that define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers for the delivery of goods. Common incoterms include FOB (Free on Board), CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight), and EXW (Ex Works). They are especially important for international trade.
