Overview

When you need a legalised commercial invoice in Italy

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.

Companies dealing with Italy 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. Italy accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Italy accepts the MEA apostille. Authorities there may ask for a sworn Italian translation made in Italy; where a certified translation from India is accepted, we can arrange it.

Process

The Italy process for an Indian commercial invoice

  1. Share your document and buyer's checklist

    Send a scan of the commercial invoice and any list your buyer or authority in Italy gave you. We confirm the route, timeline and an all-inclusive quote.

  2. Notarisation

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

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    The commercial invoice is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  5. Tracked return

    We courier the legalised document back by Blue Dart or another tracked courier, or you collect it from our Delhi office.

What to send us

  • Certified Italian translation, if the authority in Italy asks (we arrange it)
  • Original commercial invoice, signed and stamped
  • Packing list and bill of lading or airway bill copy
  • Request letter on company letterhead
  • Certificate of origin for the same shipment, if being legalised

Avoid rejection

  • Do not laminate or staple through signatures; stamps go on the original.
  • The invoice value and buyer details must match the certificate of origin exactly.
  • Some embassies charge fees based on invoice value, so share the amount when asking for a quote.
  • Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
