Commercial invoice for Lithuania: 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.
Companies dealing with Lithuania 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. Lithuania 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.
