Document background
The Commercial Invoice Pro Forma serves as an essential document in Indonesian international trade operations, issued before the actual shipment of goods. It is primarily used to provide the importer with exact details of the upcoming transaction and to facilitate customs clearance processes. This document type is particularly important in Indonesia's trade environment, where it must comply with specific regulations including Law No. 7 of 2014 on Trade and various customs requirements. The Pro Forma Invoice includes comprehensive information about the goods, their value, shipping terms, and payment conditions, enabling importers to arrange payment and obtain necessary import licenses. It also serves as a supporting document for letter of credit applications and helps expedite customs clearance procedures.
