Commercial Invoice Processing and Embassy Stamps
Requirements for commercial invoice, how it is prepared and attested, and when it needs legalisation for export documentation and trade files.
What the invoice must show
The invoice is the customs valuation record. Every figure on it must reconcile with the rest of the shipment file.
Issuing authority
Exporting company
International customs tariffs and import duties in destination ports are calculated from the verified Commercial Invoice. Stamped by the exporter, attested by the Chamber of Commerce, and legalised by MOFA, the invoice confirms consignment valuation, item descriptions, and trade terms.
The invoice is issued by the exporting company, and attestation confirms the document and its signatures for the destination authority.
Before customs clears the shipment
Chamber endorsement, invoice-to-document consistency, and the certification chain are inspected at entry.
Invoice preparation with required fields
SECP certified true copy standards and Chamber of Commerce registration
- The invoice is prepared on company letterhead with the shipment details.
- It is notarised and attested through the commercial chain with the export file.
- We prepare the invoice with the export dossier.
Issuing Authority Exporting company
Procure or verify this documentValuation and consistency checks
Corporate registry reconciliation and statutory officer validation
- An incorrect invoice is re-issued by the company, because an attested invoice cannot be amended.
Chamber endorsement required first; Commercial invoices and certificates of origin require prior authentication from your local Chamber of Commerce and Industry before MOFA legalisation.
Endorsement and legalisation
Chamber endorsement, MOFA commercial attestation, and consular certification
- The invoice runs the commercial chain, with notarisation, the Chamber of Commerce where required, then MOFA commercial attestation and the destination route.
