Frequently asked questions

What Incoterms should I use on my invoice?

The Incoterms you use should match the agreement with the buyer. Common terms in wholesale electronic markets include FOB Origin, FOB Destination, EXW, DDP, and CIF. Clearly stating the Incoterms on the invoice helps avoid disputes about shipping responsibilities and costs.

How do I handle sales tax on wholesale transactions?

Wholesale transactions are often exempt from sales tax if the buyer provides a valid resale certificate. However, you must verify the exemption and keep records. If tax applies, clearly itemize it on the invoice. For cross-border sales, consider VAT or other duties.

Can I use this invoice for broker commissions?

Yes, if you are an agent or broker, you can use this invoice to bill your principal for commissions or fees. Clearly describe the service, reference the underlying transaction, and show the commission amount. You may also issue an invoice to the buyer if you are the seller of record.
