The Commercial Invoice For Customs Purposes Only is a fundamental document in Australian international trade, required for all commercial shipments entering or leaving Australian borders. This document is specifically designed to meet the requirements of the Australian Border Force and other relevant authorities under the Customs Act 1901 and related regulations. It differs from a standard commercial invoice as it must contain specific customs-required information including detailed product descriptions, HS codes, country of origin declarations, and accurate valuation information. The document is crucial for customs authorities to determine appropriate duties and taxes, ensure compliance with import/export regulations, and maintain accurate trade statistics. It must be prepared with precision as it forms the basis for customs clearance and can be subject to scrutiny during customs audits.
