Document background
Commercial Invoice And Proforma Invoice documents are fundamental to business transactions in Malaysia, serving distinct but related purposes. The Commercial Invoice is a legally binding document that records the final sale of goods or services, including all required elements under Malaysian law such as GST/Sales Tax details, company registration numbers, and complete transaction information. The Proforma Invoice serves as a quotation or preliminary invoice, commonly used in international trade to facilitate customs clearance and provide buyers with estimated costs. These documents are essential for compliance with Malaysian tax authorities, customs requirements, and international trade regulations. They are particularly crucial for businesses engaged in both domestic and international commerce, requiring careful attention to format, content, and regulatory requirements under Malaysian jurisdiction.
