Commercial Invoice Attestation for Syria from India

- 1 Indian Chamber of Commerce
- 2 MEA attestation
- 3 Syria Embassy, New Delhi
Why Syria 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.
Customs offices and banks across the Middle East routinely check that shipping documents carry stamps from the exporting country, and many will not release cargo or pay against a letter of credit until they do.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Syria usually ask for a legalised commercial invoice for customs clearance and duty assessment, bank payment and letters of credit or 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 Syria in New Delhi.
