Document background
The Commercial Invoice For Customs is a fundamental document required for international trade operations involving Austrian and EU customs territories. It serves multiple purposes: proving ownership and sale of goods, declaring accurate value for customs duties and taxes, and providing essential information for customs clearance. Required under both Austrian national legislation and EU customs regulations, particularly the Union Customs Code, this document must include specific details such as parties' information, goods description, HS codes, origin declaration, and value declaration. It's crucial for export-import operations, customs valuation, and trade compliance, forming part of the mandatory documentation for cross-border shipments. The document helps customs authorities assess duties and taxes while enabling efficient clearance processes.
