Q14. Why do you
need attach commercial invoice to the shipment
Sample
A14. Commercial
Invoice is required when exporting your parcel shipment to overseas.
It is an
essential document for customs declaration to the country you send
to.
When
processing customs clearance, depending on the amount you declared,
import tax
is levied. In this aspect, you need to attach an invoice even though
there is no commercial value to the shipment. If you declared
only the model
number of
the parts with the word "sample" without a value, the information may
not be
sufficient for the customs to determine and clear the shipment.
This may
result in
an inspection and thus the process of Import and Export clearance is
delayed.
