Document background
The Non-Commercial Invoice is a crucial document in New Zealand's business and regulatory environment, used when there is a need to document the transfer or declaration of items without a commercial transaction taking place. This document type is commonly required in situations such as international shipments of personal effects, charitable donations, internal company transfers, or insurance claims where value documentation is necessary. While maintaining the format of a standard invoice, the Non Commercial Invoice explicitly states its non-commercial nature and includes specific declarations required by New Zealand authorities. It serves as an official record for customs, tax, insurance, or internal documentation purposes, providing transparency and traceability in non-commercial transfers while ensuring compliance with New Zealand's documentation requirements.
