What is a pre-shipment invoice?
Many Indian exporters and CHAs prepare a separate invoice marked "for customs department" for filing the shipping bill. It shows the same goods and amounts as the commercial invoice in the invoice currency, plus declarations about export incentives and tax.
In ExportMart AI you tick only the declarations that apply, and only those print — in a highlighted box. If nothing is ticked, no box prints.
This tool assists with document preparation and calculations. Tax treatment and regulatory requirements should be verified for your specific transaction.
