Why Malaysia asks for a legalised commercial invoice
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.
Importers across Asia increasingly verify origin and value documents before clearance, and some still ask for paper documents with embassy stamps.
Companies dealing with Malaysia 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 High Commission of Malaysia in New Delhi.
Malaysia is not an apostille country, so commercial documents need Malaysia High Commission legalisation after MEA attestation.
