Why Angola asks for a legalised commercial invoice
The commercial invoice records the seller, buyer, goods, HS codes, quantities, prices and delivery terms of a shipment. Importing authorities and banks use it for customs valuation, duty and payment. The exporter issues the commercial invoice on its own letterhead, signed and stamped by an authorised signatory.
Many African customs authorities and banks ask for legalised commercial invoices and certificates of origin, especially for shipments paid by letter of credit.
In Angola, a legalised commercial invoice is typically requested for customs clearance and duty assessment; it is also used for bank payment and letters of credit and import permits and product registration.
A commercial invoice issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Angola in New Delhi.
