About this proforma invoice generator

A proforma invoice is a preliminary invoice sent before goods or services are delivered. It is widely used for export shipments, customs declarations and requests for advance payment.

Tips

  • Add delivery terms such as FOB or CIF.
  • Include the buyer’s purchase order and your tax ID.
  • Label it clearly as proforma so it is not treated as a tax invoice.

Example

An exporter sends a proforma for 500 units, FOB Shanghai, requesting a 30% deposit before production begins.

Common mistakes

Using a proforma as a tax invoice, or omitting the delivery terms that customs and banks expect.

FAQ

Is a proforma invoice a tax invoice?

No. A proforma invoice is a preliminary document and normally cannot be used to claim tax. A final tax invoice is issued after delivery.
