Commercial invoice for Ireland: 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.
European buyers rarely need legalised shipping documents for routine trade, but authorities and banks may ask for them in tenders, disputes or special import regimes.
In Ireland, 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 notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Ireland accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
