Who is responsible for providing an invoice declaration of the goods?

It is the responsibility of the sender to provide details of the goods that are being shipped. For non-commercial shipments, a pro forma invoice is normally used for this purpose.

Information on the invoice must include:

• a full description of the goods
• the value of the goods
• the sender and recipients’ name and address

In addition, the sender should indicate on the invoice if any special circumstances (gifts, repairs, returns, personal belongings) apply.
