Document background
The Commercial Invoice Pro Forma Invoice is a fundamental document in international trade and commercial transactions under Danish jurisdiction. It is typically used when companies need to declare goods for customs purposes, apply for import/export licenses, or establish letters of credit. The document follows requirements set by Danish law, particularly the Danish VAT Act (Momsloven) and EU regulations, including Directive 2006/112/EC. While similar to a standard commercial invoice, a pro forma invoice is issued before the actual sale takes place, providing estimated values and details of the proposed transaction. It includes comprehensive information about the seller, buyer, goods description, estimated values, delivery terms, and other trade-related details, making it essential for customs clearance and international trade documentation. The document is particularly relevant for Danish businesses engaged in international trade, helping them comply with both domestic and EU trade regulations.
