Leather & Allied Product Manufacturing Invoice

Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing · NAICS 316 · Invoice

You may be billing for raw hides, tanning services, finishing work, or custom-crafted products like bags, footwear, or upholstery. Each job may involve multiple production stages, and your invoice must clearly reflect the work performed to avoid disputes and ensure timely payment. This invoice template is tailored to the unique needs of NAICS 316 manufacturers, including line items for leather type, finish, and processing services. It also incorporates common trade terms like Net 30 and deposit requirements, helping you get paid faster while maintaining a professional image.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a commercial invoice and a tax invoice?

A commercial invoice is used for international shipments and customs declarations, while a tax invoice is used for domestic sales to show sales tax. This template is a standard invoice for domestic business-to-business transactions; for export, you may need a separate commercial invoice with HS codes.

How do I handle deposits on custom leather orders?

For custom orders, it's common to require a 50% deposit before production begins. On the invoice, show the deposit as a separate line item or subtract it from the total, and clearly state the remaining balance due upon delivery. This template allows you to set terms like '50% deposit, balance Net 30'.

Should I charge sales tax on leather goods?

In most states, tangible personal property like leather goods is taxable, but there are exceptions for custom manufacturing or items that become part of another product. Check your state's rules. If you are unsure, consult a tax professional. The template lets you enter a tax rate or leave it at 0%.
