A shipping invoice is a document that details the goods being shipped from one location to another. It includes important information such as the sender's and recipient's addresses, a description of the items, their quantities, and the total cost. This invoice serves as a record of the transaction and is essential for both the sender and the receiver. In addition to item details, a shipping invoice may also include shipping terms, payment methods, and any applicable taxes or fees. It is often used by shipping companies and customs authorities to ensure that shipments comply with regulations and to facilitate the smooth movement of goods.
