Commercial invoice for Iran: 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.
Customs offices and banks across the Middle East routinely check that shipping documents carry stamps from the exporting country, and many will not release cargo or pay against a letter of credit until they do.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Iran usually ask for a legalised commercial invoice for customs clearance and duty assessment, bank payment and letters of credit or 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 Iran in New Delhi.
