QUOTATIONS AND PRO FORMA INVOICES

Many export transactions, particularly first-time export transactions, begin with the receipt of an inquiry from abroad, followed by a request for a quotation or a pro forma invoice.

A quotation describes the product, states a price for it, sets the time of shipment, and specifies the terms of sale and terms of payment. Since the foreign buyer may not be familiar with the product, the description of it in an overseas quotation usually must be more detailed than in a domestic quotation. The description should include the following 15 points:

 

• Buyer's name and address.

• Buyer's reference number and date of inquiry.

• Listing of requested products and brief description.

• Price of each item with requested Currency.

• Gross and net shipping weight (in kg where appropriate).

• Total cubic volume and dimensions (in metric units where appropriate) packed for export

• Delivery point.

• Terms of sale.

• Terms of payment.

• Insurance and shipping costs ( if applicable ) 

• Validity period for quotation.

• Total charges to be paid by customer.

• Estimated shipping date to factory or port.

• Estimated date of shipment arrival.

 

ERA will be responsible to submit a pro forma invoice with or instead of a quotation. Pro forma invoices can be for payment purposes but are essentially quotations in an invoice format.

 

In addition to the foregoing list of items, a pro forma invoice will  include a statement certifying that the pro forma invoice is true and correct and a statement describing the country of origin of the goods.
