How to use a Belgian freight invoice template

A Belgian freight template should let accounts payable match the charge to the shipment without asking dispatch for backup. Keep the route, references, payer and accessorial detail visible.

Fields to keep in the template

  • Carrier, forwarder, broker or logistics provider name, enterprise/VAT number and payment details.
  • Bill-to payer, shipper, consignee, customs broker, PO or job reference.
  • CMR, BOL, AWB, shipment, container, tracking or rate-confirmation reference.
  • Pickup and delivery dates, origin, destination, route and mode.
  • Pieces, pallets, cartons, weight, dimensions and freight description.
  • Linehaul, fuel, detention, demurrage, storage, customs documentation and delivery fees separately.

VAT and CMR context

Domestic Belgian freight generally starts from 21% VAT. International, export-related or cross-border B2B freight can need exemption, zero-rate or reverse-charge review. Belgian Mobility guidance says CMR consignment notes generally accompany goods transport and should be traceable in the records.

Freight or commercial invoice

Use this template to bill transport services. Use a commercial invoice when the document describes goods, value, origin, HS/CN code and Incoterms for customs.
