Do I need to print out my Customs Form/Proforma Invoice?

Last updated on 06 Apr, 2026

When you have accomplished your online Customs Form, this is then converted into a Proforma Invoice. This serves as a document version of your online declaration.

With the majority of our orders, we will electronically submit your customs information to the couriers at the time of booking, therefore you will not need to have the physical copies to hand to the driver.

This is what is called a Paperless Trade Order and there will be a PLT code on your tracking labels advising as such.

In the rare occassion the courier calls to confirm your collection, they may ask whether you have printed your form/invoice. Should this be the case, please inform them that this is a Paperless Trade Order and the forms have been electronically submitted.

If the driver asks for the form/invoice upon collection, you can explain this and also point out the PLT code on the labels.

In some cases, we do not have the option to upload the Customs Forms at the time booking and if this is the case, we will instruct you to have the forms printed and the instructions will be clearly laid out on your labels and in the emails we send you.
