3. Commercial Invoice

A commercial invoice or invoice is one of the most essential and important documents in the process of exporting and importing goods.

This document not only plays a key role in financial transparency but is also a mandatory document for customs, transportation, and international settlements.

Definition of Commercial Invoice

A commercial invoice is an official document issued by the seller (exporter) to the buyer (importer) and includes detailed information about the goods, transaction terms, and financial details.

This document is recognized as a payment request and serves as the basis for calculating customs duties and tariffs in the destination country.

Key Information Included in a Commercial Invoice

A standard commercial invoice must include the following information:

• Invoice number and date: Each invoice must have a unique number and a clear issuance date.

• Complete seller (Exporter) information: Company name, address, contact number, email, and registration number.

• Complete buyer (Importer) information: Similar to the seller's details.

• Detailed description of goods: Product name, HS Code, technical specifications, quantity, unit of measurement (kg, ton, meter, piece, etc.).

• Unit value and total value of goods: Unit price and total value in the agreed currency (e.g., USD or EUR).

• Payment terms: e.g., LC (Letter of Credit), advance payment, cash payment, credit, etc.

• Delivery terms (Incoterms): Such as FOB, CIF, EXW, DDP, etc., specifying transportation and insurance responsibilities and costs.

• Country of origin: Indicates where the goods were produced.

• Shipping method and details: Includes origin and destination port/airport, vessel/flight name, container number, bill of lading/airway bill number.

• Exporter's signature: Confirms the accuracy of the information in the document.

Importance of Commercial Invoice in International Trade

• Basis for calculating customs duties: Customs officials in the destination country use the invoice value to calculate import taxes and fees.

• Primary reference in financial processes: Banks use the invoice as an official document for opening LCs or transferring funds.

• Proof of ownership: A commercial invoice can serve as valid evidence in legal disputes and trade arbitration.

• Logistical coordination: Accurate invoice details enable shipping and insurance companies to provide precise and efficient services.

Difference Between Commercial Invoice and Proforma Invoice

• Proforma Invoice is a non-binding preliminary invoice, usually issued before production or shipment to provide a price quote to the buyer, primarily for informational and initial agreement purposes.

• Commercial Invoice is the final, binding official document issued after agreement and preparation of goods.

Important Notes for Preparing a Standard Commercial Invoice

1. Clear and unambiguous information: Avoid vague or non-technical terms.

2. Full alignment with other export documents: Such as packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading, and insurance policy.

3. Compliance with destination country laws: Some countries require specific details like consular approval or chamber of commerce signature for invoice validity.

4. Accurate payment and delivery terms: Any ambiguity can lead to issues in payment or delivery.

5. Timely issuance: Delays in issuing the invoice can cause customs clearance delays and increased storage costs.

Preparing a professional and standard commercial invoice is the foundation of successful exports and imports.

For Arad traders, mastering the principles and details of this document is essential for serious and sustained entry into global markets and strengthening personal and national brands.

5. Meetings of Arad Branding's Esteemed President with Provincial Boards of Trustees

The esteemed president of Arad Branding holds regular monthly meetings, at least two hours long, with the board of trustees of each province.

In these meetings, large-scale commercial projects, key strategies, and precise execution paths are outlined and communicated.

Simultaneously, the executive and operational aspects of these projects are reviewed and decided upon in detail at the central office of Sima Iran in Tehran, in the presence of Mr. Shabani, Chairman of Arad Branding, and the project manager.

All Arad traders are required to follow up and clarify any ambiguities or questions regarding project processes through their provincial board of trustees.

This close communication with the board ensures proper understanding, precise execution, and successful advancement of commercial projects.

It is crucial to note that traders who refuse to cooperate with Arad Branding's predefined roadmap (our earned bonus) or neglect to submit daily performance reports will have no place in commercial projects and will be excluded from their capacities.

This structured approach is designed to ensure real growth, solidify commercial positions, and produce measurable results.

Active participation, work discipline, and full adherence to the roadmap are essential for progress and success.

If you face difficulties in following the roadmap, contact your supporters immediately and do not rest until the issue is resolved.
