This explains what Commercial Invoice (CI) data Shipstore captures and sends, and how to put your own order number on the CI.

What Shipstore sends

Shipstore sends the same fields that print on the Commercial Invoice: item description, value, harmonized code, country of origin, and the consignee. Whether the data is sent electronically or only printed depends on the carrier. Some carriers file trade documents electronically; others only accept the printed CI.

Add your order number to the CI

  1. Go to Business Rules.
  2. Create a rule that writes your order number into the Memo 1 field.
  3. Save the rule. Memo 1 fills the CI Reference field, so your order number shows on the Commercial Invoice.
  4. If you need the data sent (not just printed), check that the carrier you use supports electronic transmission of the CI.

What you should see

After the rule runs, your order number appears in the CI Reference field, and the Commercial Invoice shows the required data.

Extra CI fields

Optional fields that are not on the standard CI (item number, EIN, or a separate purchaser party) are a billable customization. To request them, email support@shipstore.com and describe the fields you need.
