A proforma invoice is a preliminary invoice that serves as a commercial document issued by a seller to a buyer. It outlines the terms and conditions of a potential sale, including the description of goods or services, quantity, price, and payment terms. However, unlike a regular invoice, a proforma invoice is not a legal document that binds the seller to fulfill the order.
Key purposes of a proforma invoice:
– Quote or Estimate: It acts as a formal quote or estimate, providing the buyer with a detailed breakdown of the costs involved.
– Customs Clearance: It’s often required by customs authorities for import or export procedures, providing necessary information for clearance.
– Booking Confirmation: It can serve as a confirmation of a booking or order, especially for international transactions.
– Payment Terms Agreement: It establishes the agreed-upon payment terms between the buyer and seller.
A proforma invoice can be converted into a regular invoice once the order is confirmed and the goods or services are delivered.
