The Proforma Invoice form is a critical financial document used primarily in international trade that outlines the goods and services a seller intends to provide to a buyer, including detailed descriptions and terms of sale. It plays a fundamental role in the customs clearance process, acting as a preliminary bill of sale that helps authorities determine the value of goods for tax and duties purposes. The form captures key details such as the exporter's information, the tax ID of involved parties, the consignee and buyer details, and specifics about the transaction including the terms of sale, delivery, payment, and the total invoice value inclusive of brokerage fees, freight, duty, and taxes. Also enumerated are the various aspects of the shipped goods like the number of packages, their gross and net weights, the currency of the sale, and an itemized description with Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) numbers, providing clear insight into the transaction. Its comprehensive nature requires the shipper's certification that all provided information is complete and accurate, a step that underscores its legal importance in trade and logistics. Notably, the document allows for the indication of goods not sold but exported for other reasons, such as repair or processing, rounding out its utility in facilitating international commerce efficiently and reliably.
