What should a freight invoice include?
Beyond the standard invoice fields, a proper freight invoice ties back to the shipment record with a BOL, AWB or CMR reference, states the origin and destination, records weight and pieces, and breaks charges into distinct lines so the bill-to party can see exactly what they are paying for.
- BOL / AWB / CMR reference number tying the invoice to the shipment
- PRO number, load number or rate-confirmation reference
- Origin (pickup) and destination (delivery)
- Ship or delivery date
- Weight and pieces / pallets
- Linehaul, fuel surcharge and accessorial charges listed on separate lines
- Payment terms (net 30 is standard in freight)
Do I charge VAT or GST on freight?
Almost every tax regime treats international transport of goods as zero-rated (not exempt — zero-rating preserves your right to deduct input tax), while purely domestic transport is taxed at the standard rate. This tool defaults the tax rate to 0% for that reason; switch to your country's standard rate and mark only the domestic-leg or accessorial lines as taxable if a shipment mixes both. See the FAQs below for country-specific rules (EU reverse charge, UK VAT Notice 744B, Australian GST-free treatment, Canadian zero-rating and interlining, US federal excise tax on air cargo).
Freight, forwarder and broker billing
Freight is routinely billed to a third party rather than the shipper — a broker, consignee, or "freight collect" payer — which is why this invoice labels the customer field "Bill To (Payer)". If you subcontract a leg of an international movement, note that some VAT exemptions for cross-border transport (e.g. EU case law, CJEU C-288/16) apply only when billing the shipper or consignee directly, not another carrier — check your local rule before zero-rating a subcontracted leg.
