Overview

Commercial invoice for Madagascar: 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.

Many African customs authorities and banks ask for legalised commercial invoices and certificates of origin, especially for shipments paid by letter of credit.

Companies dealing with Madagascar 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 attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Madagascar in New Delhi.

How to get a commercial invoice attested for Madagascar

  1. Share your document and buyer's checklist

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

  2. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies your company and signatory and stamps the commercial invoice.

  3. Ministry of External Affairs

    The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the commercial invoice, which the Madagascar Embassy requires before it will legalise it.

  4. Madagascar Embassy legalisation

    The Embassy of Madagascar in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. This is the final stamp needed in India.

  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

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

Avoid rejection

  • Do not laminate or staple through signatures; stamps go on the original.
  • Some embassies charge fees based on invoice value, so share the amount when asking for a quote.
  • The invoice value and buyer details must match the certificate of origin exactly.
  • Check that the company name is spelt the same way on every document; the Madagascar Embassy compares names across the set.
