The correct pro forma invoice template is essential to ensuring smooth international transactions. Understanding this need, Supply Chain Shark has developed specialized proforma invoice templates tailored to each of the 11 Incoterms. We also include requirements for customs, like HTSUS codes and country of origin. These templates are now available for download, providing businesses with a precise and efficient way to manage their international transactions.
Why Including Incoterms in Pro Forma Invoice Templates Matter
Incoterms, or International Commercial Terms, define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers in global trade. Each of the 11 Incoterms outlines specific obligations related to the cost, risk, and transport of goods. As a result, the content of a proforma invoice template must accurately reflect these terms to avoid any confusion or disputes.
At Supply Chain Shark, we recognized that a one-size-fits-all approach to invoicing simply doesn’t work in international trade. That’s why we created 11 distinct invoice templates—one for each Incoterm. These templates not only help streamline your documentation process but also ensure that all relevant details are covered, no matter which Incoterm you are using.
