Frequently asked questions

Is a proforma invoice a real invoice?

No. It is a quotation in invoice form. It is not a demand for payment or a tax invoice; the final commercial invoice is issued when goods ship.

Why do importers ask for one?

Banks and import authorities often need it to open a letter of credit, arrange payment or apply for an import license.
