Document background
The International Commercial Invoice is a fundamental document in international trade transactions subject to Indonesian jurisdiction. It serves multiple critical purposes: as a customs declaration, proof of value for duty assessment, evidence of sale, and demand for payment. Required under Indonesian Law No. 17 of 2006 on Customs and aligned with international trade practices, this document must be prepared for all commercial exports and imports. It contains essential information including detailed product descriptions, prices, trade terms, and party details. The document is crucial for customs clearance, tax compliance, foreign exchange transactions, and maintaining accurate business records. It must comply with both Indonesian regulations and international trade standards, making it a key document for businesses engaged in cross-border trade.
