How to use an Australian commercial invoice template

A commercial invoice template is for customs clearance and shipment valuation. It is different from a payment invoice and different from a freight invoice, so keep the goods description, value, origin, HS code and Incoterms fields in the master file.

Fields to keep in the template

  • Exporter name, address and ABN.
  • Importer, buyer, ship-to party and ultimate consignee.
  • Reason for export and Incoterms 2020 rule with named place.
  • Detailed goods description, HS code, country of origin and quantity.
  • Unit value, currency, total value, packages, gross weight, freight and insurance.
  • Declaration, name, position, date and signature.

GST-free export records

Australian exports can be GST-free when conditions are met, including timing and evidence rules. Keep proof of export and make sure the commercial invoice matches carrier, customs and packing-list paperwork.

Value and samples

Although no payment may be collected for samples, gifts or repairs, declare a realistic customs value and state the reason for export clearly.

FAQs about Australian commercial invoice templates

Is this a normal sales invoice?

No. It is a customs document used to describe goods, value, origin and shipment terms.

Do I need HS codes?

They are strongly recommended and often expected for customs classification and duty assessment.

What value should samples show?

Use a reasonable market value for customs even when goods are samples, gifts, returns or repairs.
