Malta has no land borders at all — every genuine import or export moves by sea or by air. Real-world Maltese scenarios are sea freight through the Malta Freeport at Marsaxlokk (one of the largest transshipment hubs in the Mediterranean) or air freight through Malta International Airport at Luqa, not the truck border crossings that dominate commercial-invoice content for continental EU countries.
Why "customs invoice" in Malta means sea or air, never a land border
Because Malta is an island with no land frontier, a commercial invoice here is only relevant for genuine third-country (non-EU) trade — shipments to or from the UK, US, China, Turkey, North Africa and similar markets — moved through the Freeport by container ship or through Luqa Airport by air cargo. Movement of goods between Malta and Gozo, by contrast, is entirely domestic: it crosses no customs frontier and needs no commercial invoice, even though it involves a ferry crossing.
Intra-EU movements of goods (to or from any other EU member state) are not customs/export events at all under free-circulation rules — those need only an ordinary VAT invoice, with the intra-Community supply treatment noted where applicable, not this customs document.
EORI, required documents, and VAT on genuine non-EU shipments
An EORI number, issued via Malta Customs (now part of the Malta Tax and Customs Administration, MTCA), is required before importing or exporting outside the EU. Alongside the commercial invoice, non-EU shipments typically need a packing list, a bill of lading (sea) or airway bill (air), a Single Administrative Document (SAD), and — where preferential tariffs are claimed — a Certificate of Origin or EUR.1 movement certificate.
Exports outside the EU are zero-rated (exemption with credit) under the Fifth Schedule, whether the consignment leaves via the Freeport or via Luqa. Imports from outside the EU are charged the standard 18% import VAT at the border, along with any customs duty — assessed separately from this invoice by Maltese customs.
The Malta Freeport: transshipment cargo, not just Maltese imports
A large share of the containers passing through the Malta Freeport are transshipment cargo — moving from one international vessel to another via Malta without ever entering the Maltese domestic market. If you are invoicing for goods being transshipped rather than genuinely imported into or exported from Malta, the commercial invoice still travels with the container, but check with your forwarder whether Malta itself is the origin/destination on the customs declaration.
