A proforma invoice is a preliminary bill of sale sent to buyers before shipment or delivery of goods. Unlike a tax invoice, it is not a demand for payment but rather a good-faith estimate that helps both parties agree on the terms of a transaction. Proforma invoices are essential in international trade, where they serve as the basis for customs clearance, letter of credit applications, and import-export documentation. In domestic commerce, they function similarly to quotations but with more formal structure. Our proforma invoice templates include fields for Incoterms (FOB, CIF, EXW), shipping details, payment terms, and estimated delivery dates. They are designed for exporters, importers, manufacturers, and trading companies who need professional pre-sale documentation. Each template is available in PDF, Excel, and Word formats.
