Commercial Invoices for Selling Internationally

[eyerave]

Hi everyone, recently sold some packages to some customers in Brazil, Mexico and Croatia. Pretty stressed out at the moment as these shipments should be sent out today but myself being a new ebay seller and not having much experience just learned that I must include commercial invoices with these shipments. A bunch of questions I have now!!!!! Anyone who has experience with selling internationally please help as I am a little stumped. Anyone have a good template that they use for selling internationally? Do I somehow attach the 1,2,3 etc copies ( whatever that country requires ) invoices onto the side of the package or can I put them inside the box? will my packages not be able to enter that country or just be sent back to me if I do not include this info? Have been getting some sales internationally lately which excites me, but almost thinking all the extra time I will have to spend filling out these commercial invoices for every shipment will make it not as worth it.

Any input appreciated. Thanks

You don't have to include an invoice/packing slip but it's a good idea.

Only a few countries REQUIRE an commercial invoice and none that I know of require one for low value shipments.

If you do want to include one I think you can print one from PayPal when you print a postage label.

If you are not using PayPal for the postage you can make one up yourself.

PayPal has a Packing Slip option which can be printed.

If you subscribe to eBay Selling Manager (Basic is free) there is an Invoice/Packing slip option available to print.

I click on the item sold, choose "view order details", select "printer friendly page", and print two copies. one goes in my box of sold. The other goes in the labelope attached to the parcel. Print postage from Paypal Shipping.
