Document background
The Commercial Invoice Gift is a specialized document used in Indonesian business and trade contexts when items need to be processed as gifts through official channels. This document type became necessary due to Indonesia's specific requirements for distinguishing between commercial goods and gifts for customs and tax purposes. It includes detailed information about the gift's value, nature, and purpose, while maintaining the formal structure of a commercial invoice to satisfy regulatory requirements. The document is particularly important for international transactions where gifts need to clear customs and where proper documentation is essential for tax compliance and anti-money laundering regulations. Companies operating in Indonesia must use this format when sending corporate gifts above certain value thresholds or when processing international gift shipments.
