Freight invoice generator for Australian carriers, forwarders and logistics teams
Create an Australian freight invoice for carriers, freight forwarders, brokers and logistics providers billing linehaul, fuel surcharge, handling, storage, documentation, detention, demurrage, delivery, GST and international transport charges.
Australian freight billing needs shipment evidence. The payer may need the consignment note, BOL, air waybill, container, load reference, pickup and delivery dates, origin, destination, weight, accessorial approval and GST treatment before approving payment.
What an Australian freight invoice should include
A freight invoice should let accounts payable match the charge to the shipment without chasing the dispatcher. Include the route, shipment references, payer and charge detail that connect to the consignment file.
- Carrier, forwarder, broker or logistics provider name, ABN, address and remit-to details.
- Bill-to payer, shipper, consignee, broker, third-party payer, PO or job reference.
- Consignment note, bill of lading, air waybill, container, load, tracking or shipment reference.
- Pickup and delivery dates, origin, destination, route and mode.
- Pieces, pallets, cartons, weight, cubic metres, commodity or freight description.
- Linehaul, fuel surcharge, handling, detention, demurrage, storage, documentation, liftgate, residential delivery and customs fees separately.
- GST treatment note for domestic freight, import, export or continuous international movement.
GST on domestic and international freight
Purely domestic Australian freight is generally taxable at 10% when supplied by a GST-registered business. International transport of goods, arranging that transport and domestic legs that form part of a continuous international movement can be GST-free when the conditions are met.
Do not blend a domestic delivery and an international movement into one generic GST line. Split the charges so the GST treatment follows the actual route and evidence.
Shipment references and customs evidence
For international freight, keep the invoice aligned with the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, customs declaration and broker records. The freight invoice bills the transport service; the commercial invoice describes the goods for customs.
Use the notes field for export declaration, import entry, container, vessel, flight or broker references where those help the payer reconcile the file.
Accessorial charges and disputes
Accessorial charges are the most common source of freight disputes. Put waiting time, detention, demurrage, re-delivery, tailgate, residential delivery, storage, documentation, lumper or handling fees on separate lines with dates, locations or approval references.
Common Australian freight invoice mistakes
- Leaving out consignment, BOL, AWB, container or load references.
- Combining domestic taxable freight and GST-free international freight on one line.
- Using the freight invoice as if it were the customs commercial invoice.
- Hiding detention, demurrage, storage or documentation fees inside linehaul.
- Omitting shipper, consignee or third-party payer detail used for approval.
- Not showing ABN and Tax Invoice wording when GST-registered.
