Commercial invoice for Indonesia: what and why
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.
Importers across Asia increasingly verify origin and value documents before clearance, and some still ask for paper documents with embassy stamps.
Companies dealing with Indonesia are most often asked for a legalised commercial invoice during customs clearance and duty assessment, as well as for bank payment and letters of credit and import permits and product registration.
A commercial invoice issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Indonesia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Notarisation
A notary in India verifies the signature on the commercial invoice or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

The commercial invoice is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.
MEA apostille
The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.
