The step-by-step guide to completing your Customs paperwork

If your shipment is customs-dutiable, it needs to be accompanied by an invoice at all times.

If it is a commercial shipment with a commercial value, you will need a commercial invoice. If it is a non-commercial shipment (non-business purpose), such as a personal gift, sample or faulty part, you will need a proforma or non-business use invoice.

Please choose the invoice type you wish to complete.

Commercial Invoice
If it is a commercial shipment with a commercial value, you will need a commercial invoice.

Commercial Invoice with 3rd party billing

Proforma Invoice for Non-Business Purposes
If it is a non-commercial shipment (non-business purpose), such as a personal gift, sample or faulty part, you will need a proforma or non-business use invoice.

If you need further support, please feel free to contact us through your local customer service department.
