The Customs Commercial Invoice Template is a fundamental document in international trade that combines the features of a standard commercial invoice with specific requirements mandated by Australian customs authorities. This document is essential for any business engaged in importing or exporting goods to/from Australia and must comply with the Customs Act 1901 and related legislation. It serves multiple purposes: providing proof of sale, declaring accurate values for customs duty assessment, establishing ownership of goods, and meeting GST requirements. The template includes comprehensive information about the transaction, including detailed product descriptions, HS codes, values, trading parties' information, and shipping terms. It's designed to facilitate smooth customs clearance while ensuring compliance with Australian trade regulations and international commerce standards.
