Commercial invoice
Check fields
Which documents and labels do you need for an FBA shipment?
An FBA commercial invoice records the transaction and goods for freight or customs review. A packing list records how the goods are packed. Outer carton marks help identify cartons. Amazon Box ID labels identify individual boxes in Amazon’s inbound workflow; a TradePaper carton mark does not replace them.

Questions before shipment
What is an Amazon commercial invoice for FBA?
It is a shipment invoice draft used in the freight, broker, or customs paperwork flow for goods going to an Amazon FBA destination. It should still be checked against your forwarder's and Amazon shipment requirements.
Can this replace my forwarder's FBA document process?
No. Use it as a clean draft, then follow your forwarder's and Amazon shipment workflow requirements.
What should match between an FBA invoice and packing list?
Quantities and product descriptions should match. Invoice value appears on the invoice, while carton and weight details appear on the packing list.

TradePaper catches common structure problems, but export requirements change by country, product, broker, and shipping method.
Confirm product descriptions and HS codes with your broker or compliance team.
Match quantities and descriptions with the packing list; check invoice values against the purchase order and agreed terms.
