Noun: Commercial Invoice

A Commercial Invoice is not an Invoice docment rather it is a shipment document between a shipper and carrier.

A Commercial Invoice document identifies and describes a specific collection of goods to be transported by a carrier and delivered to one or more business partner destinations.

A Commercial Invoice document represents the extent and content of “transportation work” to be done by the carrier. For transportation efficiency, a Commercial Invoice document typically consolidates deliveries to multiple destinations within a certain geographic region and may provide carrier routing instructions to each delivery stop.
