Commercial invoice generator for UK export and customs paperwork
Create a customs-ready commercial invoice for goods shipped from the UK to the EU, the US and other international destinations. The PDF includes exporter and importer details, EORI fields, reason for export, Incoterms, commodity code, country of origin, value, freight, insurance and declaration text.
A UK commercial invoice is a customs document, not a normal payment invoice and not a VAT invoice for services. It helps carriers, freight forwarders and customs authorities classify goods, check declared value and assess duties or import VAT in the destination country.
What a UK commercial invoice should include
GOV.UK’s export step-by-step guidance says the completed invoice and any licences or certificates must travel with the goods, and if the goods are not being sold you should use market value. Build your invoice around the shipment, not just the sale total.
- Exporter name, address, VAT number if relevant and GB EORI number.
- Importer, buyer or consignee details, including destination tax ID or EORI where available.
- Reason for export: sale, sample, gift, repair, return, replacement or intercompany transfer.
- Incoterms 2020 rule and named place, such as DAP Paris or FCA Birmingham.
- Detailed goods description, commodity or HS code, country of origin, quantity and unit value by line.
- Currency, total value, gross weight, packages, freight, insurance and signed declaration.
EORI and commodity codes
GOV.UK says you may need an EORI number when moving goods between Great Britain and any other country, including the EU, and the export step-by-step guide says a GB EORI is needed to export goods from England, Wales or Scotland.
HMRC guidance says commodity codes are internationally recognised reference numbers used on import declarations, and they affect Customs Duty, import VAT, taxes and preferential rates. Do not rely blindly on a supplier code from another country because only the first six digits are used worldwide.
VAT on exported goods
HMRC VAT Notice 703 says exported goods are zero-rated when the goods leave the UK and the notice conditions are met. It also states that a zero-rated supply is still a VAT supply, but with VAT at 0%. Keep proof of export and keep the commercial invoice consistent with the customs declaration and carrier paperwork.
Commercial invoice vs proforma invoice
Use a commercial invoice for a shipment that is actually being exported or imported. Use a proforma when the carrier or buyer needs a value before a sale is final, for example a sample, return, repair or quote. Even non-sale goods need a realistic customs value.
