What is a Proforma Invoice?

A Proforma Invoice is a preliminary bill of sale sent to buyers in advance of a shipment or delivery of goods. It describes the items to be sent, their value, and shipping information.

Proforma Invoice vs. Invoice

The key difference is that a Proforma Invoice is not a demand for payment. It is a "good faith" estimate of costs to allow the buyer to arrange financing (or open a Letter of Credit). A standard Commercial Invoice (or Tax Invoice) is the final legal record of the transaction.

When should you use one?

  • International Trade: To declare value for customs.
  • Advance Payments: When you need a deposit before starting work.
  • Project Spec: To confirm details before issuing a final tax invoice.
