An Invoice For Customs Purposes Only is a specialized document required by UAE customs authorities for the clearance of goods through customs points across the Emirates. This document type is distinct from commercial invoices and is specifically designed to meet customs declaration requirements under UAE Federal Law No. 8 of 2015 and GCC Common Customs Law. It is commonly used when standard commercial documentation is not available or when special customs procedures require a separate declaration document. The invoice must include detailed product information, valuation data, origin declarations, and party details sufficient for customs authorities to assess duties and taxes. This document type is particularly important for free zone operations, temporary imports, inter-company transfers, and situations where goods need customs clearance without commercial transaction documentation.
