With the increasing momentum of e-export in the online world, the form of preparing an e-export invoice has become an important topic that e-commerce companies newly starting e-export are curious about, as well as the details they need to pay attention to. As in every commercial activity, an invoice must be issued while exporting; therefore, it must also be prepared during export. Accordingly, in this article, we will answer the questions “how should an e-export invoice be prepared?” and “what should be taken into consideration when preparing an e-export invoice?”.

Structure and Layout of the E-Export Invoice

For products sold abroad via e-export and to be sent abroad within the scope of micro export, it is necessary to issue an E-Archive Invoice or a Revenue Administration–Approved Invoice.

If we list the information that must обязательно be included on an e-export invoice, it would be as follows.

• Sender company’s full trade name, address, tax office, tax number
• Recipient company’s full trade name, address, tax office, tax number
• Stamp and signature
• Invoice date
• Invoice number
• Invoice type
• Issue date and time
• Delivery method of the shipment (such as DAP)
• Origin of the product (If there are products of different origins, it must be stated separately for each product.)

What Should Be Considered When Preparing an E-Export Invoice?

The information that must обязательно be included on an e-export invoice and some points to be considered during preparation are listed as follows:

• The country name must definitely be included in the address information.
• If there is no signature and stamp integrated into the system, a wet signature and stamp must be affixed to the invoice printout.
• If “e-invoice” is written in the logo section of the invoice and “e-archive invoice” is specified in the scenario section, the invoice is accepted.
• If freight and insurance are paid by the sender, they must be stated as separate line items on the invoice.
• No additional line item such as “customs clearance service fee” should be written on the invoice; only freight, product price, insurance, bank commission, and packaging fees may be written.
• Along with GTIP and origin information on the invoice, the Turkish description must also be clearly stated.
• VAT is not added to export invoices.
• The material value and contents stated on the commercial invoice sent together with the shipment must be consistent with those stated on the proforma invoice.
• After the shipment is dispatched, the e-export invoice must definitely be delivered as wet-stamped and signed.
