Document background
An Invoice For Customs Purposes Only is a crucial document required when goods need to cross borders without being part of a commercial transaction, or when a value declaration is needed for customs clearance. This document, governed by Dutch customs law and EU regulations, provides customs authorities with necessary information for proper valuation and classification of goods while explicitly stating its non-commercial nature. It's commonly used for temporary exports, returns, warranties, samples, or intercompany transfers. The document must comply with both Dutch national requirements and EU customs regulations, including the Union Customs Code, and contains detailed information about the goods, their value, origin, and parties involved, while clearly stating it is not a commercial invoice.
